All eyes on Noosa It was jam-packed with action in Noosa last weekend with events such as the Noosa Polo Cup, Noosa Trail Walk and Open Studios Art Trail bringing the school holidays to a close, but there’s no time to rest with plenty happening again this weekend. Artworks have been popping up in the environment this week as part of Noosa’s Floating Land exhibition which begins tomorrow and runs until 24 October. In its 11th iteration the exhibition’s brief is “at the edge of ideas“ and the works will be concentrated in two key anchor sites - at Lake Cootharaba at Boreen Point and on Noosa Head’s award winning Park Road Boardwalk from Hastings Street to Noosa National Park. Conceived in 2001 as a biennial outdoor sculptural program, Floating Land aims to reflect “Noosa’s national and international reputation as a community and a place that foregrounds care for and engagement with the natural environment“. Noosa Open Studios will continue over this weekend with more than 100 artists opening their studios across the Shire. And look out for wild women who will be mountain biking, trail hiking and kayaking in the Wild Women Adventure Race on tomorrow. For more information go to visitnoosa.com.au

Holiday chaos By Abbey Cannan

12497020-DL22-21

Police say the school holiday period at Teewah Beach was “chaotic“ with campgrounds hitting full capacity and close to 100 speeding fines being handed out. The busy area requires a joint operation between Noosa Police, Sunshine Coast Road Policing Unit, Tin Can Bay Police, Rainbow Beach Police, Gympie Road Policing Unit, Marybor-

ough Tactical Crime Squad, and Queensland Parks and Wildlife rangers. Noosa Police officer-in-charge acting senior sergeant Troy Cavell said Noosa Police alone conducted about 200 random breath tests detected three drink drivers. “Every weekend at Noosa North Shore is at 100 per cent capacity which is 1500 campers allowed in Teewah campgrounds and up to

2000 vehicle permits issued each day, according to National Parks website,“ he said. “So it has been absolutely chaotic but you look at Noosa on the weekend, it was packed as well.“ Snr Sgt Cavall said the crime rate was low around Noosa these school holidays. “In terms of stolen cars and break and enters, over the long weekend it was next to

zero,“ he said. “We didn’t get any stealing from beaches or cars, which is normal for coastal areas at peak times. So that was good for us. “The first week of the holidays weren’t too busy and the second week, we had that bit of rain come through so that kept things fairly subdued. Continued page 3

The entanglement this week of a whale calf in shark nets in Noosa’s Laguna Bay reignited calls for the removal of shark nets and debate over alternate shark deterrents.Fortunately the young whale that was left entangled over night until help arrived in the early hours of the morning survived the ordeal and was freed to swim away with its mother that watched over its ordeal. Sea Shepherd Australia’s managing director Jeff Hansen condemned the use of shark nets, calling for their immediate removal to protect migrating whales. This is a view shared by many in the community, but speak to long term lifesavers in the region and they will readily recall stories before the nets were installed when shark sightings and attacks were more frequent and lifesavers guarded swimmers with rifles at the ready.There is no global response to unprovoked attacks by sharks on humans. Surveys show opinions vary across the country. Anyone who attended the shark net forum hosted by the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) that brought together scientists and stakeholders earlier this year will be aware of the various devices available as shark deterrents, none of them considered completely effective, as well as the volume of research on the subject. What almost everyone agrees is that no-one wants the indiscriminate deaths of marine creatures including turtles, dolphins, whales and sharks, many endangered species, caught in the nets. NBRF has proposed a trial of shark control measures in the region, having submitted a proposal for it to the state government in June.

Tourism bounces Noosa’s tourism market recorded the strongest visitor results since the start of Covid in the latest release of national figures, with increases in visitor numbers and spend. Tourism Research Australia’s National Visitor Survey for the year ending June 2021, released last week, showed the Noosa region welcomed just over 1 million domestic overnight visitors, a 2.2 per cent increase on the pre-Covid 2019 year. They spent $967 million, an increase of 8.2 per cent over 2019. Tourism Noosa chief executive officer Melanie Anderson said the figures were the strongest for domestic overnight visitation since the start of Covid. “Some of the measures even broke pre-Covid records,” Ms Anderson said. “While this is great news for the hundreds of businesses that have been working tirelessly to keep afloat through the constantly changing Covid conditions, we’re aware that the past few months have been very tough with the prolonged interstate border closures.” A record 769,000 Queenslanders visited Noosa, a 27 per cent increase compared to 2019. They spent a record $584 million, almost double their spend in 2020 and 51 per cent higher than in 2019. “While Covid restrictions continued to disrupt the tourism industry, we continually monitored consumer sentiment and ensured our marketing campaigns were flexible enough to quickly hit the available markets, and this has paid off,” Ms Anderson said. “With the closure of interstate borders, Queenslanders answered our call and this really helped compensate for the loss of traditionally strong interstate visitors.” While interstate visitor numbers fell 36 per cent to 250,000, and spend fell 24 per cent to $383.5 million, their spend per person increased to $1533 and remains more than dou-

Armed robbery in Caloundra Police are seeking community assistance following an armed robbery at a chemist in Caloundra on Thursday 2 September. Around 6.55pm a man entered a chemist on Caloundra Road and threatened the male pharmacist with a knife and demanded money. The alleged offender then fled the scene with a quantity of cash. No one was physically injured. Investigators are requesting dashcam or CCTV footage from anyone in the vicinity of Caloundra Road and Golden Beach Tavern between 6.20pm and 7pm. Police also wish to speak to another man, a member of the public, who spoke with pharmacy staff immediately after the robbery.

Wounding charge in Gympie

Tourism Research Australia’s National Visitor Survey for the year ending June 2021 showed the Noosa region welcomed just over 1 million domestic overnight visitors. ble the average Queenslander spend of $760. The overnight results for Noosa were in line with results for the Sunshine Coast and were stronger than those across Queensland and Australia. “The biggest increase came from holiday visitors, rather than those visiting friends and relatives, which was good news for our accommodation industry,” Ms Anderson said. Total spend for the region, including day trippers, reached $1.06 billion, the highest since March 2020. Total visitation and spend, however, remain below the 2019 levels (visitors are 23 per cent down at 1.9 million and spend is 3 per cent down), due to the continued loss of international markets, which previously contributed about 10 per cent of the total visitor spend. Ms Anderson said Tourism Noosa’s Noosa Travel Insights hub, a new reporting method

that complements Tourism Research Australia’s quarterly National Visitor Surveys, had added depth to visitor and accommodation statistics. “The measures during the 12 months to June 2021, which was a full year of Covid restrictions, were strong compared to the previous year,” she said. “The average occupancy throughout the year was 59 per cent, compared to 53 per cent the previous year, which obviously includes some months of lockdown and other months where we reached strong capacity. “The average length of stay for visitors increased from 2.75 days to 4.4 days, which is a great sign that people are out and about spending in the region. “Importantly for accommodation owners, the average daily rate increased from $212 to $251.”

Police issue 100 holiday speeding fines From page 1 “We’re still busy, attending about 180 calls for service each week. “We have our issues on Saturday nights around the licensed premises in Hastings Street and that’s an ongoing thing that we’re trying to correct.“ Lives lost on our roads this year are on a trajectory to reach their highest number in over a decade. Two hundred lives have been lost so far this year, 14 more than this time last year. Factors such as speed, drink and drug driving, not wearing a seatbelts and fatigue are consistent contributors to fatal road crashes. Snr Sgt Cavall said we were lucky that none of those deaths had occurred in the local area. “The fatal five keep coming in as there’s a lot of the drivers on the road and sometimes

Picture: ROB MACCOLL the police aren’t able to stop their behaviour,“ he said. “You can’t be everywhere at the one time and some of the responsibility has to go back to the drivers’ actions. “If you concentrate on Noosa, we don’t get too many bad accidents.

“We’re constantly doing traffic enforcement that targets the drink drivers because there’s a fairly high rate of drink drivers around Noosa, as we have about 2000 premises that are licensed for drinking. “Our Ubers and taxis take a lot of the drink drivers off the roads so that has made a huge difference. It has also reduced the assaults around Hastings Street as people can get a lift quite quickly, so that saves all the drunks from hanging around.“ Snr Sgt Cavall said police were gearing up for the Christmas holiday rush. “The September school holidays are our trigger point for it to be busy every weekend until Australia Day next year,“ he said. “We’re not sure if we’ll have Schoolies in Noosa this year, there doesn’t appear to be too many in relation to last year’s effort. “We ask the community to continue to be careful on the roads around Noosa.“

Detectives from Gympie Criminal Investigation Branch arrested and charged a man following investigations into an overnight incident in which a man allegedly sustained a stab wound. Police were called to an address in the Fairview Park Estate at around 4.30am on Saturday 4 September following reports a 25-year-old man had sustained a laceration to his hand following an alleged alteration with another man. He was taken to hospital for treatment to a non-life-threatening injury. A 22-year-old local man has been denied police bail and is due to appear in the Gympie Magistrates Court on Monday, September 6 charged with unlawful wounding and common assault.

Teens charged after multiple break ins at Sippy Downs Police have charged a 16-year-old Sippy Downs boy, a 14-year-old Buderim boy, a 14-year-old Sippy Downs boy and a 13-year-old Sippy Downs girl with burglary and stealing offences after three local businesses were broken into multiple items were stolen in the early hours of 31 August. Police will allege the teens smashed windows to get into the businesses and stole large amounts of property including cigarettes and alcohol. Police located the alleged offenders a short time later and recovered most of the property. They have been charged with several counts of entering premises with intent to commit an indicatable offence, possess knife and stealing offences.

More talks

Six separate community groups, including the Noosa North Shore Association, Peregian Family and Friends, and Noosaville and Noosa Sound Residents have joined with EBPAI to demand immediate practical action to fix beach and waterway erosion.

Action demanded By Abbey Cannan A petition calling for Noosa Council to take “practical action to stop its own stormwater runoff eroding and contaminating local dunes, beaches and waterways” has reached 1600 signatories since its launch. Eastern Beaches Protection Association Inc (EBPAI) spokesperson Minna Knight said the growing number of people signing the group’s petition proved there was growing concern the Coastal Hazards Adaptation Plan (CHAP) would only impose more red tape, but fail to fix immediate problems along the coastline. “More and more people are joining our fight to have Council acknowledge and fix environmental issues in its own backyard first and foremost, instead of forcing tokenistic restrictions on local homeowners,” Ms Knight said. Noosa Council say they actively managed the coastal dune areas along the Eastern Beaches, however, sewage wastewater run-off is handled by Unitywater.

“Unitywater was established in 2010 and directly manages any issues regarding treated effluent,” Environmental Services Manager Craig Doolan said. Mr Doolan said Council worked closely with local community groups to improve the foredunes in the area. “We have provided $225,000 over three years to local community groups to revegetate the dunes and complete other work,” he said. Mr Doolan said Council was about to embark on a new management plan for public foredunes for the whole of the Eastern Beaches. “This will be a collaborative program bringing together a range of community groups over the next six months to look at ways to better manage and protect the coastal dunes,” he said. Ms Knight said the issues with wastewater runoff were well known and fixing it was something Council could do right now to help pro-

tect and defend our beaches and waterways. “It has been a key point of discussion at the Council’s Roundtable meetings, where we continue to seek sensible changes to the CHAP which will protect our precious environment but won’t hurt residents and ratepayers,” she said. “We believe practical and proportionate action is needed to tackle the impact of climate change in our community, and that proper erosion control measures are the best way to protect our beaches right now - not more red tape that does nothing to prevent damage to our local environment.” Six separate community groups, including the Noosa North Shore Association, Peregian Family and Friends, and Noosaville and Noosa Sound Residents have joined with EBPAI to demand immediate practical action to fix beach and waterway erosion. The petition can be found online at Change. org

Attempted murder charges after crashes Police have charged a Noosaville man with attempted murder after he allegedly deliberately drove his car into two cyclists on the Sunshine Coast, causing serious injuries. The 23-year-old Noosaville man was taken into custody soon after at Coes Creek after he waded into a dam. It will be alleged on 30 September at around 10:30am a vehicle stopped at traffic lights at Parklands Boulevard, Little Mountain was rammed from behind by a silver sedan which was then driven away at speed through a red light.

No one sustained serious injury as a result of the crash. It is further alleged around 10.45am the same silver sedan drove directly into a 20-year-old Pelican Waters man who was riding his bike along the Frizzo Connection Road at Tanawha. The man was thrown from his bike and suffered deep grazing to most of his body. The silver sedan continued travelling westbound along the Nambour Connection Road where it allegedly rammed another car at Woombye before swerving deliberately into a

22-year-old male cyclist around 11am. The cyclist sustained significant injuries as a result of the collision and was transport to Sunshine Coast University Hospital. The car failed to stop and was driven into Nambour where it crashed into a fence. The driver was charged with three counts of dangerous operation of a vehicle and one count each of attempted murder, obstruct police and driver fail to remain at incident and render assistance. He was due to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on 1 October.

Noosa Council will hold a special meeting from 9am today to discuss a Coastal Hazards Adaption Plan (CHAP) report on community consultation stemming from its controversial draft plan. Noosa is one of Queensland’s coastal councils funded by the state government to undertake a CHAP. After initial consultation in January, council received 233 submissions on its draft CHAP, with issues explored further with the establishment of a CHAP Roundtable, which has now concluded. The CHAP Roundtable brought together representatives from seven community groups including Eastern Beaches Bushcare Collaborative, Eastern Beaches Protection Association, Hastings Street Association, Noosaville Business Association, Noosa North Shore Residents Association, Peregian Beach Community Association, and Peregian Beach Family and Friends Association. The report to be discussed today provides an overview of submissions, proposed responses to the issues, an updated draft CHAP, and a proposal to undertake a further round of community consultation. Community consultation has led to a number of changes to its draft plan. Dune management and revegetation in high-risk areas has been identified as a critical priority for council and the community to build resilience and manage erosion risks, and this has been reflected in the draft plan. A need was identified to place more emphasis on greater monitoring of changes over time through the collection of scientific data and adapting the response as risk profiles change or more information is made available. Council said while the draft CHAP does not impact on private land rights it would inform “appropriate land use planning responses” and Council would need to amend the Noosa Plan 2020 to align with State Planning Policy requirements regarding coastal erosion risks. Council has outlined the objectives of the CHAP as being to: Improve Noosa Council and the community’s understanding of current and future risks from coastal hazards and how they might change through time as a result of climate change. Consult with the community clearly and sensitively throughout key stages of the project so the community understands the implications and contributes to the decision making. Identify what actions are required to avoid, reduce or adapt to these risks to people, property, assets and the environment. Provide mapping and visual products and deliverables that are useful across Council departments and within the community. Provide direction for a coordinated approach for Council and the community to adapt to climate change and coastal hazards.

Proposed development site at 30-32 Doonella Street (behind the Tewantin Community Bank)

NEWS

Noosa councillor Amelia Lorentson

Opportunity missed By Margaret Maccoll Despite being in the grip of a housing crisis, Noosa Council last month rejected an application for 19 small units, including four specialist disability accommodation (SDA) units in the heart of Tewantin, because it lacked a deed ensuring the retention of four SDAs. Insufficient business opportunities was another reason cited for the rejection of the development at 30-32 Doonella Street which would have also included four commercial spaces for a food and drink outlet, indoor sport and recreation and health services. The applicant, Fincierge, argued council had set unreasonable terms, kept changing the goal posts and missed an opportunity for social housing they could have built on with adjacent council and state-owned land. Councillors debated the issue at its Ordinary Meeting last month, agreeing it was an ideal site being close to shops, transport and services, for small, affordable dwellings. Cr Frank Wilkie said what it lacked was a guarantee it would be used for social housing. Cr Brian Stockwell said what they had was a developer who had genuinely tried to respond to the current housing situation and had identified the site for social housing but didn’t meet the current zoning requirements. He said it was hard to make last minute legal negotiations and they had a development deadline with the applicant wanting a decision on approval. Mayor Clare Stewart said it was a hard decision. She said social housing and STAs were

something the community really needed but they needed security the applicant was genuine in their intentions. Cr Amelia Lorentson was the only councillor to back the application, saying the social benefits of the development far outweighed the risks of four units not being delivered for STA accommodation. We have been working with the applicant since 2019, she said. He simply lost trust and faith in the negotiation. He wanted the project to be assessed on its own planning merits. It meets the town plan. Prior to demolition, the site was historically 100 per cent residential, with a 2015 approval for 16 apartments which lapsed in 2020. This project added 220m of commercial space. Cr Lorentson said the council’s Briggs and Mortar report identified small, multiple dwellings as targeted development priorities to address the housing needs. Nineteen small units would be more affordable to buy and rent than the median unit housing in Tewantin. There’s a lack of affordable housing near transport and services for young people, professionals, for the elderly and single families. If four STA units are not delivered, the worst case scenario is that we are left with 19 small units we don’t currently have and four businesses providing jobs to the community. This is a risk I’m prepared to take, she said. Fincierge director Chris Wright said five years ago they bought the site which continues to hold a current development application for 10 two-bedroom residential apartments and

720sqm of commercial floor area. But the increase of people working from home due to Covid-19 and commercial vacancy rates of 200sqm in Tewantin and 600sqm across Noosaville and Noosa Heads prompted them to review their plans. In late 2019 Fincierge entered into a sale contract with the State Government which was looking to purchase or JV residential development sites as part of the Housing Construction Jobs Program but the state pulled out when Noosa Council advised a 100 per cent residential scheme would not be supported, Mr Wright said. “In late 2020, I presented to Noosa Council and executive staff about housing affordability issues that were beginning to emerge and the pressure it was placing on our local businesses and community. The Council owns two adjoining sites to the east and west of our site and the State Government also owns a small adjoining parcel of land. If Council wanted to pursue site amalgamation and plan a major social housing project, I was all ears,” he said. In early 2021 Fincierge lodged an amended application that had replaced about 500sqm of unwanted commercial space with four SDA apartments, and added new ground floor commercial and retail options, in a development their legal and town planning consultants said was supported by the Noosa Plan. Mr Wright said council suggested during planning discussions that they may be agreeable to their scheme if they signed an Infrastructure Agreement (IA), locking in the four

SDA apartments in perpetuity. “We believed the draft IA was unfit for purpose so we sent Council a Deed Poll stating our terms,” he said. “Council then instructed their lawyers to prepare a deed of agreement at our cost ($5000), with new punitive and uncommercial terms which we ultimately disagreed on. These uncommercial terms included a $500,000 bond (to be held for 10 years, which council later reduced to $100,000 for five years) and to keep all four SDA apartments on one title. During these discussions, Council insisted that SDA participants were unable to purchase their own homes so they would not agree to allow individual titles. I felt this was discriminating against SDA participants by removing the opportunity to purchase their own property if in a position to do so.” “We just thought it was too over the top it would set a dangerous precedent,” he said. “They made it a lot harder than it needed to be.” Mr Wright said two days prior to council’s decision-making Ordinary Meeting, Council advised them that they would instruct their lawyers to amend the deed to reflect Fincierge’s conditions on the proviso they pay($1000) for their solicitors to amend the deed, despite there being no assurances the councillors would accept these terms. So they declined. The application was refused and Fincierge now faces a $5000 fee to lodge an appeal with the Planning and Environment Court and potential costs of up to $100,000 if it goes to a court hearing, Mr Wright said.

Dunstan delivers at The J From Fleetwood Mac to YouTube covers band Hindley Street Country Club, DENNIS DUNSTAN has done it all. He talks to PHIL JARRATT. If you didn’t know his track record in the global music industry, you could easily think that Dennis Dunstan was just another excitable manager talking up just another covers band. “They’re recording songs live in the studio and posting them on YouTube, and they’ve got 150 million people viewing! They are knockout musicians and their work is phenomenal. That’s not just my opinion. Many of the great bands they’re covering have said the same thing. I’m thinking Vegas!” But first he’s thinking Noosa, where internet sensations the Hindley Street Country Club will kickstart a national tour tomorrow night (Saturday 9 October) at The J. We’re enjoying a coffee on the deck at Eclipse, overlooking the shimmering Noosa River. Dennis, 68 next month, a former session drummer, is keeping the beat with his feet as he talks, almost spilling his coffee with every exclamation mark. “Who would have thought that I’d be managing a tribute act and a covers band at this stage of life!” he says. “The reason behind that is our industry is a mess, and this is what works now.” The music industry statistics back him up on this, and partly explain the incredible success already enjoyed by his signings, Tina Turner tribute act Rebecca O’Connor, and now Hindley Street, an Adelaide-based combo of seven seasoned musos who are suddenly turning algorithms into money. But we’ll get to them in a moment. First, we need to consider their X-factor, Dennis Dunstan, whose CV almost defies belief, until you check it out. Born in a housing commission estate in Glenroy, Victoria in 1953, Dennis started beating the skins professionally at 15, playing with guys twice his age who would smuggle him into the licensed venues. He had ambitions to

After sitting in with the likes of Steeleye Span and Roy Harper for a couple of years, Dennis was asked to audition as drummer for Deep Purple, but in the first of a series of defining moments on which his career has pivoted, he was called home to a family crisis. With work harder to come by in Melbourne, he

Pictures: ROB MACCOLL looked to another aspect of the music industry which was just beginning to thrive – band security. The unquestioned guru of this was martial arts instructor Bob Jones, so Dennis found himself trudging up the stairs to the Jones gym to a soundtrack of manly grunts and groans. Five years later he was a black belt expert working on the Bob Jones security details, alongside future action movie star Richard Norton, for

bands like the Rolling Stones, Abba and Fleetwood Mac, during the 1977 Australian leg of their ground-breaking Rumours Tour. At the end of the Australian leg the band asked Norton to join the next leg in the US, but when he was unavailable they hired Dennis. By the time the 18-month tour had finished, Dennis was a full-time member of the Fleetwood Mac management team. When he later helped fellow drummer and soul-mate Mick Fleetwood recover from a bankruptcy fiddle, he was hired as Fleetwood’s personal manager and the band’s co-manager, positions he would hold for the next 15 years.

Through the 1980s and ‘90s, Fleetwood Mac remained one of the biggest bands in the world, but also one of the most controversial and disaster-prone, forever on the brink of splitting part. How did a young Aussie drummer manage this? “I never touched drugs in my life, so one of the things they loved about me was I could keep their acts together,” Dennis says. “One of my first jobs with Mac was to fire a bunch of people who weren’t doing their jobs. I was very good at my job and I could be the enforcer when required. I was an Australian kick-boxing champion so I could back it up.” But more than kicking heads, Dennis was good at cutting deals, and not just for Mac.

Soon they were playing support on Mac’s Mirage Tour of the US, and by the end of the tour, their debut album was number one on Billboard while Mac’s Mirage was number three. After years based in Los Angeles, Dennis and his wife were looking for new challenges and a better environment for raising their children, so in the early 2000s, they settled in Noosa, a place in Dennis’s heart since the family had camped in The Woods every summer when he was a kid. He established Frontrow Management to run events and represent rising Australian bands, like country duo McAlister Kemp. Then he heard an energetic Irish/Jamaican singer named Rebecca O’Connor doing Tina

Turner songs. Says Dennis: “She was simply the best Tina Turner except for Tina herself. We had a chat about her future and I agreed to manage her as long as Tina herself endorsed the act. I sent a tape to Tina’s manager and he phoned me a few days later and put Tina on. This husky voice said, ‘You tell that Rebecca she so damn good she’s scary!’” Rebecca’s Simply The Best show has been breaking box office records in Australia, Ireland and the UK for several years now. The Hindley Street Country Club is Dennis’s latest client and passion, and if you listen to the band’s massive output on YouTube, no matter what you feel about covers groups, it’s impossible to not share his enthusiasm. Their musicianship is brilliant, and their playlist of the best soul, funk and rock from the ‘70s through to the ‘90s is enough to bring tears

to the eyes of this baby boomer. Normally a seven-piece outfit, HSCC expands up to 12 for some live performances. They’ll be 10-strong at The J this weekend. While the band’s co-founder and arranger Con Delo is on the wrong side of 50, other members are much younger, and Dennis Dunstan contends that this style of live performance is leading the way back from the Covid brink for musicians of all ages. “HSCC play songs that people of a certain age not only remember but have never forgotten,” he says. “But what is interesting to me is that there is a whole new generation, like my daughters in their 20s, who are just discovering them, and they love them too.” Tickets available at The J Noosa by visiting thej.com.au/

go and give them a hand’.” He went to Redbank Army camp near Ipswich, fibbed about his age and joined the army that same month. “I told the enlistment officer I was 21 but I was really only 18. I was the second youngest in my outfit of 1200 men. The youngest was 15. I was six months there and then we were sent to the Middle East.” Bill was a troop supply column driver and well remembers what became known to the troops as The Benghazi Handicap. “We were in the middle of the Sinai Desert

and taking a convoy to reinforce the 9th Division but we met them coming back down the desert. Rommel (General Erwin Rommel) was chasing the hell out of them back to Tobruk. “Eventually, Monty (Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery) took control and we fought back and won at El Alamein.” Bill also saw service in New Guinea. “I was two years there before being pulled out with every skin disease known to man and some that weren’t. I was six months in a skin hospital before being discharged as medically unfit.”

And what was he doing when the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945? “I was driving a truck for the Navy in Brisbane and when I heard about the bomb I knew the war would soon be over.” Bill and his wife, Nancy retired to Tewantin in 1996 from Tara where they had a stock and station agency. Nancy died in December last year after 61 years of marriage. Was he often asked about the secret of his long life? He said: “Dozens of times. I tell them I don’t know. Just one of those lucky things, hard work, good living, the usual stuff.”

It will be a happy time when Second World War veteran, Bill Hoskin of Tewantin, celebrates his 100th birthday with family and friends this Sunday but he admits it could be happier. Bill who served in the Middle East and New Guinea would dearly love his son, Marc, daughter in law Jenny and grandson Michael to be there but Covid restrictions and the border closure between Victoria and Queensland means they are locked out. “It’s disappointing,” Bill told Noosa Today. “Marc, however, has arranged a special lunch at a Noosaville restaurant this Sunday. Friends are coming from Tin Can Bay, Tara and Brisbane and I have nieces in Cooroy and Sunshine Beach who will be there. “It would perfect if Marc and his family were also there.” Already, tributes and congratulations have come from Queen Elizabeth, the GovernorGeneral David Hurley and his wife Linda, the Prime Minister Scott Morrison, the Federal Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien, State Member for Noosa, Sandy Bolton, and Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart. Bill is the only surviving 100-year-old war veteran in Noosa and next Tuesday, the actual day of Bill’s birthday, the president of the Tewantin RSL sub branch Gino Amarrador and RSL Wellbeing team member Richard Murphy, will present a certificate of congratulations from Queensland RSL. And the following Sunday, Bill, a former elder of the St Andrews Presbyterian Church at Tewantin, will be guest of honour at a celebration lunch at Noosa Care, Carramar, where he has just moved in. Bill told me how he was milking a cow near Kingaroy in July 1940 when he decided he didn’t like hearing how Britain, as he describes it, was “getting thumped by the Germans so I said to myself, ‘Bill, knock off milking cows and

Defib cover complete With Mayor Clare Stewart’s launching of three new AEDs (defibrillators) at the Main and West Beach towers this week, Noosa moved one step closer to completing a line of protection of the bathing reserve and World Surfing Reserve from Alexandria Bay to the river mouth. The AED program, which aims to place a potentially lifesaving defibrillator within a three-minute range of any point along Noosa’s world famous surfing beach and point breaks, was initiated by Noosa Surf Club in 2020 and joined by Noosa World Surfing Reserve at the start of this year. Together, they have now installed five AEDs, with the NWSR set to install a further two before the end of the month. Surf club president Ross Fisher told Noosa Today: “The Surf Club, with the support of Noosa Radiology, has now installed one on each of the three patrol and Coast Guard towers from the surf club to the river mouth.

The placement of these AEDs will ensure that their accessibility will be a huge boost in Noosa’s ongoing efforts to improve safety for all, and will vastly improve the time in an emergency to get one onto a patient to improve their chance of survival.” Mr Fisher said that working with stakeholders Noosa Shire Council, Surf Life Saving Queensland, Queensland Parks and Wildlife and Noosa World Surfing Reserve, the Surf Club was planning a raft of further surf safety intiatives, including the installation of a second emergency beacon on the outer bays to overcome mobile blind-spots, and adoption of a new surf safety code being developed through Noosa Council’s surf safety roundtable group. As well as the Surf Club’s partner Noosa Radiology, the AED program has been funded by many local businesses and individuals, including supplier BCR Medical.

Mayor Clare Stewart launches Noosa Surf Club’s new defibrillators, with head lifeguard Isaac Smith, Drew McMenanim of Noosa Radiology, and Ross Fisher.

Hinterland bridge construction to kick off next month Over $4 million is set to be spent on vital hinterland infrastructure this financial year, with the awarding of the construction tender for the replacement of the Tablelands Bridge B in Cooran and Wahpunga Lane Bridge in Kin Kin. Construction company SGQ Pty Ltd has been awarded the contract to replace the bridges. Council’s Director Infrastructure Services Larry Sengstock said this contract would deliver much-needed infrastructure improvements to the Hinterland. “The replacement of each of the timber, single-lane bridges with a wider concrete,

single-lane bridge in line with current standards will improve access and safety,” Mr Sengstock said. “The new bridges will also have the added bonus of less maintenance, and a design life of 100 years. “The work will not only benefit residents, but also the many visitors that frequent these popular areas, which are home to the Noosa Trail Network and the James McKane Lookout.” Mr Sengstock said Council appreciated the Cooran and Kin Kin communities were keen to see work get underway. “The tender process took longer than ex-

pected but it was important Council took the time to conduct further investigations for these complex projects before proceeding with awarding the tender,” Mr Sengstock said. Some of the additional issues investigated included considerations of resident access during construction, environment and Native Title, site constraints and lead time for ordering construction materials in a heated market. “Construction will start on the bridges in October, with Tablelands Bridge expected to be finished this calendar year and Wahpunga Lane Bridge by the end of this financial year. “One of the first tasks SGQ has been asked

Caitlin Bettenay, 22yo beach volleyballer from Coolum, is aiming to be at the next three Olympics finishing her career in front of the home crowd. As an elite athlete, she is in the gym 3 days a week either strength training, increasing flexibility or doing regenerative exercises. When not in the gym, Caitlin hones her beach volleyball skills on the sand 6 days a week! Having her body perform optimally is the key. However, in April, disaster struck when she was pumping out 95kg squats in the gym … her back twinged. Caitlin needs to be careful about what practitioners and medication she takes due to her international competing – everything must be WADA (World Anti Doping Agency) compliant. She instantly booked into her ‘go to’ practitioner who uses a new healing modality – ANF Therapy. Within minutes of applying the healing medical discs (small adhesive discs), Cailtlin’s pain was 95% gone. With just two applications over the space of a week, Caitlin’s back was back to perfect working order.

to do is to check in with residents, as working with the local communities to minimise construction impacts is a high priority. “SGQ has proven expertise in delivering work in the Noosa area with the recent construction of the Orealla Crescent Bridge over David Low Way at Sunrise Beach, and we look forward to working with them again on this project.” The Hinterland Bridge replacement project is a joint initiative of the Australian Government and the Noosa Council as part of the Bridges Renewal Program. The Australian Government has contributed $2 million of funding to this project.

Awards for local legend Sunshine Coast distillery, 20 20 Distillery, has impressed judges at the 2021 Australian Gin Awards with its East London Dry and George gins taking home a gold and silver medal respectively. Hosted by the Australian Gin Distillers Association Inc, this year’s Australian Gin Awards saw 370 gins by 109 Australian and 11 New Zealand companies submitted for judging. 20 20 Distillery’s East London Dry, distilled using the finest botanicals including Macedonian juniper, coriander, cassia bark, angelica, orris root, citrus and cardamom, won a gold medal in the Classic Dry Gin class.

A silver medal was awarded to 20 20 Distillery’s newest gin release, a navy-strength gin affectionately named George after founder and distiller Brian Bedding’s grandad who was a stoker in the Royal Navy during the Second World War, in the Over-Proof category. Cooroy local Brian was ecstatic with the awards. “We’re absolutely thrilled that our gins have been so well received by the judges and that we’ve come home with a gold and silver,” Brian said. “Our East London Dry is our signature gin, and my personal favourite, so it’s just amazing that it’s been recognised within the industry as

one of the best Australian gins right now.” “Similarly, George has a special place on the 20 20 Distillery shelf given its backstory, so for it to win a silver is very meaningful too.” 20 20 Distillery has been impressing locals, tourists and gin aficionados alike with its premium spirits since opening its doors to thirsty customers in December 2020, and is set to launch a new gin next month. The award-winning gins, along with a range of other products including Queensland’s first Gin Seltzer, are available to purchase online at 2020distillery.com.au or from the Tasting Bar located at 5 Taylor Court, Cooroy.

Thursday Girls support Noosa students Local charity group The Thursday Girls met on 30 September at The Boathouse after a two month break due to Covid restrictions. A spokeswoman for the group said it was exciting to see so many of their regular ladies and also welcome 16 new members. Due to many of the school activities not able to be held this year, the group has only been able to give out $11,000 in donations. As the year comes into the final term there will be many requests for help for students to attend camps and swimming lessons. The Thursday Girls are always there to help those students at the State Schools in the Noosa Shire whose families are in financial difficulty. The next function will be held at Rococo Noosa on 28 October and then the final function on 18 November at the RACV Resort where partners will also be invited.

I’ve learned more

Psychology student Carmine Buss received three prestigious awards in recognition of her outstanding academic results and dedication to enhancing the learning experiences of others when she graduated from USC on Thursday 30 September. Carmine, of Peregian Beach, was awarded the Chancellor’s Medal (USC’s highest honour for a graduating student) for her support and service to the university community, a University Medal for achieving a grade point average of 6.81 out of 7, and a Student Leadership Award. “Inspiring others to enjoy the process of learning and to love the university experience is incredibly rewarding,” said Carmine, who volunteered more than 100 hours as a student academic advisor while achieving first class Honours in her degree. “Sharing my experiences and learning strategies at Psychology, Arts, and Social Science drop-in sessions, academic skills sessions, and other peer-to-peer activities were my favourite experiences at USC.” As a student leader, Carmine volunteered her time to provide academic guidance to a diverse range of students and redesigned referencing resources for students. Her other achievements included completing a research assistant internship at USC’s Thompson Institute, where her work was acknowledged in two journal articles. In her last semester, she presented her Psychology Honours research on the factors contributing to climate change scepticism at the Australasian Council for Undergraduate Research Conference 2021 and was also selected to co-host the 2021 Student Voice Australia Symposium. Carmine said she felt incredibly lucky to have the privilege to challenge herself with the pursuit of knowledge as she never believed it was an option for her while growing up in British Columbia, Canada. “While my brother completed his degree in physics engineering there was no encourage-

Determined to paddle By Margaret Maccoll Bryan Harper was 11 years old when a family trip to Coburg Lake gave him his first taste of canoeing and began a life-long love of the sport that took him to the Olympics in Melbourne in 1956, a string of competition wins and a career in canoe building. “When we went home I drove my dad mad asking for a canoe,” Bryan said. His dad told him he’d have to be able to swim before he got a canoe. That was no deterrent for the determined Brunswick, Victoria schoolboy who achieved his bronze medallion before eventually receiving his first canoe. “I’ve always loved canoes. I don’t know why,” he said. There were three canoe clubs in Melbourne at the time - Essendon, Fairfield and Rudder Grange, Bryan said, but he wasn’t a member of any so he set about teaching himself to paddle, practising in rivers, shooting rapids and began building his own canoes while still at school. “There was a race in Melbourne from Wonga Park to Warrandyte. I won it by miles. Upset a few people,” he said. After that, having built his own 17m Canadian single canoe to Olympic specifications, Bryan joined the Essendon canoe club. He claimed the Australian championship which qualified him for the 1956 Olympics. “The team was ridiculous,” he said. “I had no help because no-one knew anything. I didn’t know anything about training. The manager refused to time me. He wouldn’t talk to me.” Bryan decided his best chance would be to train on the Olympic course so he moved into a caravan at Ballarat and practised on the Olympic course on Lake Wendouree before moving to the Olympic Village during the competition. To cover his expenses during the Olympics he was awarded the princely sum of one pound six pence - in a cheque he has never cashed.

“I thought it was insulting,” he said. At 185cm tall and weighing only 65kg and rowing the canoe he had built himself Bryan finished seventh in the Canadian singles canoeing (C-1) 1000m event and ninth in the C-1 10,000m event in the long distance sprints considered strongman events. The gruelling sport that was very popular in Europe requires the paddler to kneel on one knee with the other leg stretched in front while paddling. Bryan continued to paddle for the next 30 years, winning an array of competitions in singles and doubles, at one time claiming the Australian championship with doubles’ part-

in 1971. In 1974 he competed in New Zealand in a 100 mile event with doubles’ partner Peter Theobald who returned with Bryan to Australia and married his daughter. The couple and their daughter continue to live in New Zealand and, sadly for Bryan, Covid-restrictions have hampered visits. In 2006 he returned to Melbourne for the 50th anniversary of the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. Bryan moved to Noosa 30 years ago, attracted by the weather and the environment and is a regularly visitor to Main Beach where he occasionally gives advice to people he sees holding their paddles the wrong way but finds it is rarely appreciated.

ner, fellow Olympian canoeist Tom Ohman. From a factory he established in Melbourne, he built Canadian canoes and kayaks including some of the first fibreglass kayaks made in Australia to European designs. Bryan discovered his competitive advantage lay in long distance paddling. In 1958 he competed in the 111km Hawkesbury Canoe Classic from Peats Bridge and Windsor finishing in 13 hours 40 minutes and winning the competition by an hour. He’d steered the canoe on the Hawkesbury River through jellyfish and was grounded on four sandbanks during the race. For sustenance, he took with him orange juice, a sandwich and a banana. Bryan won his last Australian championship

Sleepy during the day? Daytime sleepiness has a significant impact on quality of life according Dusk till Dawn Sleep Centre. People with daytime sleepiness struggle with social, academic and work demands. They are also at risk of motor vehicle and workplace accidents and generally have poorer health. According to the team at Dusk till Dawn Sleep Centre, it is not normal to sleep for a long time at night and still feel tired during the day. There are a number of sleep problems that can

worsen the quality of sleep and cause sleepiness during the day. This can be the case even if no problems are noticed at night. Sleep disorders have been implicated as risk factors in a number of other health problems including increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes. It also affects general mental functioning, in particular, daytime alertness, mood, memory functions, and decreased learning ability.

There is some recent evidence that sleep deprivation also depresses the immune system which means the body is less able to fight off viruses and infections. There are several sleep disorders that can affect an individual. The most common disorders include insomnia, snoring, sleep apnoea and restless legs. Accurate diagnosis is important, not only because of the negative impacts of sleepiness and its root causes on health and

social function but because excessive sleepiness is generally remediable with appropriate treatment. At Dusk till Dawn Sleep Centre they help provide diagnosis, treatment and support for all. Please call 07 5455 6622 or visit dusktilldawnsleep.com.au Located all over the Sunshine Coast and Gympie.

Residents urged to check their smiles During the school holidays, Noosa residents are being encouraged to check their smiles and book their family in for a dental check-up at Townsend Family Dental and Implant Centre. Family-owned and operated since 2006, principal dentist Dr Richard Townsend said people’s usual diet and oral health routines have been interrupted due to busy schedules and the challenges of Covid-19, . For peace of mind in these stressful times, Dr Townsend has introduced new measures to ensure staff and patients stay safe during the pandemic. “These include following a strict PPE and cleaning protocol as well as negative pressure rooms that provide strong ceiling ventilation/ suction to change the air in the room up to 30 times an hour, resulting in a much safer environment for our staff and patient,“ he said. Also new to the practice is highly regarded dentist, Dr Rod Ashton. Rod recently made the move from North Queensland to the lovely shores of Noosa.

Only local audiologist Recent times have reminded us all just how important it is to be able to interact with others, and the ability to hear gives us the gift of this connection. Deidre Breytenbach, principal audiologist at Noosa’s only 100 per cent independent, locally owned and operated hearing clinic, Noosa Hearing, said a hearing test is the first step to helping your hearing, communication, and relationships. “Everyone over 55 should have their hearing tested,” Deidre recommended. “Hearing problems in Australia are not uncommon, in fact they affect approximately one in six of us and are more prominent as we age,” she said. “When we struggle to understand speech or certain sounds, connecting with others can soon become hard work. This is what we call hearing loss.” It was a desire to put the needs of patients first and the flexibility of being able to spend time with them that prompted Noosa local Deidre to open her own clinic. “I am dedicated to making the world a better place for people with hearing loss,” said Deidre, who is also committed to long-term service in the community. Noosa Hearing focuses on individually tailored health outcomes, and their consultations allow enough time to undertake thorough assessments and get a full understanding of your unique lifestyle and hearing needs. “We pride ourselves on providing a high quality, personalised and patient-focused health service.” With dual qualifications in audiology and speech therapy, Deidre has more than 10 years’ experience, across three countries. Treating clients from five to 105, Noosa Hearing is also an approved provider of fully subsidised services for eligible pensioners and

Strong focus on lifestyle Lifestyle means something different to everyone and no matter what your age, you live a lifestyle that suits you. In this current environment of lockdowns and social distancing, social interaction is more important than ever for our mental health. For the residents at NoosaCare at Carramar and Kabara, there is a strong focus on lifestyle through diversional therapy programs, social outings, events, and creative activities. Lifestyle in aged care isn’t always something that goes hand in hand, however Noosacare’s vision is for residents to continue making their own lifestyle choices, even after finding their new home at Carramar or Kabara. Over the last two months they have held a spring soiree, Carramar and Kabara Show day

Carnivals, seniors’ week celebrations, singing, dancing, gardening, exercise and painting groups, just to name a few. In addition, the two bus trips per day explore beautiful locations and picnic spots all over the Noosa, Sunshine Coast and Hinterland regions. NoosaCare could not deliver such a busy social environment without the brilliant work of its dedicated diversional therapists and volunteers. There are always fun opportunities to join the volunteer programs if you are interested in a rewarding way to contribute and also improve your own social calendar. To be a part of NoosaCare’s unique lifestyle team, contact Craig Barnes on 0418 405 481 or cbarnes@noosacare.com.au or visit noosacare.com.au for more information.

Ageing is inevitable and can be synonymous with deteriorating health. A cataract is one of those age-related illnesses, however, early detection and awareness can reduce the risk of vision loss. A cataract is a clouding of the normally transparent lens of the eye and is usually a consequence of getting older. Most agerelated cataracts develop slowly so you may not notice any problems with your vision until the cataract is fairly advanced. “It is important to know the early signs and symptoms of cataracts which often cause a slow and steady decline in vision,” Dr Kris Rallah-Baker said, from Sunshine Coast Ophthalmologists at Noosa. Cataract symptoms to look out for: Cataracts can affect your vision in several ways and often these other symptoms are noticeable before blurred vision. 1. Glare sensitivity Usually, the lens focuses light on the back of your eye (the retina) very precisely. When the lens becomes cloudy, it scatters some of the light in different directions. This scattered light creates glare and sensitivity to bright lights. 2. Faded colours As the cataract forms, the lens becomes more yellow. This acts like a yellow filter. Because of this, the vibrancy and brightness of colours is diminished and results in colours that look faded with a yellow/sepia tinge. 3. Double vision In the same way that a cloudy lens causes glare sensitivity, it may also result in double vision. The cloudy lens may split incoming light in two, instead of focusing it at a single point. 4. Halos around lights and night vision problems When light scatters, it may also produce a glow or starbursts around lights or bright objects which is more obvious at night.

Set your sights on healthy eyes with help from Sunshine Coast Ophthalmologists of Noosa. 5. Constantly cleaning your glasses or windscreen As the cataract forms it creates a barrier to the amount of light passing to the retina. The lens in your eye can take on the appearance of frosted glass so you feel like you need to constantly wipe your glasses to clear away this “film”. 6. Blurred vision Blurred vision is often one of the last signs of a cataract. The changes in your lens increase over time with the lens becoming increasingly cloudy and brown-yellow and eventually causing a reduction in your visual acuity. Initially you may end up with a new or changing prescription in your glasses after potentially many years of stability. Eventually new glasses will not improve your vision. It is usually at this stage you may be referred to an ophthalmologist for possible cataract surgery. For further information, visit the Sunshine Coast Ophthalmologists of Noosa website sconoosa.com.au or phone (07) 5470 2400.

Month long celebration of our state’s seniors Queensland Seniors Month will celebrate the lives of older people this October, with activities and events planned for the entire month. Minister for Seniors Craig Crawford said Ballet for Seniors workshops have returned in 2021. “This event goes to the heart of what Seniors Month is all about,” Mr Crawford said. “Dance encourages healthy and active living and positive social engagement for Queenslanders of all ages.’’ Older ballerinas Christine Bell, 64, and Vicki Wilson, 66, said seniors’ ballet was purely for fun. “Ballet gives you balance; it exercises the mind. It’s good for the heart and soul,” Mrs Wilson said. “I can’t do a pirouette like I used to, but the music lives on in the heart. I just love it.’’ Mrs Bell said ballet made her feel fitter, more supple and more flexible. “Nobody judges anybody, it’s also very social,’’ she said. Seniors Month celebrates the theme Social Connections and began on 1 October, the United Nations International Day of Older Persons and ends on 31 October, Grandparents Day. “We know that being connected to others in the community is vital for our seniors and an important aspect of managing mental and physical wellbeing,” Mr Crawford said. “Seniors Month 2021 will be active, fun, inclusive and, importantly, will foster social connection for our seniors. “During the month-long celebration people of all ages, cultures, and abilities are encouraged to connect with the older people in their lives. “Kicking off the celebrations in 2021 will be screenings of the B.OLD short films, which were created to challenge negative perceptions of ageing and to spark conversations in communities across Queensland about how we can make our state more age-friendly. 20 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 8 October, 2021

“These 10 short documentary films showcase Queensland seniors living their lives to the full and feature entertainers and advocates, athletes and artists making extraordinary contributions in communities around the state. “I am pleased to announce we have partnered with Event Cinemas to host special screenings of the films at 20 locations statewide on Tuesday 5 and Thursday 7 October as part of Seniors Month celebrations.” “The films will be available online from 1 October 2021, so we can all host a screening at home, at work, at your local community centre, school or library.” Mr Crawford said the Queensland Government has invested $100,000, through a partnership with the Council on the Ageing (COTA) Queensland, to support community groups, non-government organisations and local councils to host local events and activities this Seniors Month. COTA Queensland is once again working with the Queensland Government to support inclusive events and activities across the State. “Queenslanders value the contributions that older people have made and continue to make to our state,” COTA Queensland chief executive Mark Tucker-Evans said. “Humans are social creatures, and have a fundamental need to connect and interact with one another. This year’s theme ‘Social Connections’ will reinforce the importance of feeling socially connected and the importance of bringing together Queenslanders of all ages, cultures and abilities to celebrate the essential roles that older people play in our society. “We invite all generations to connect and celebrate with their families, friends and communities, through local events and activities.“

Like cookies and cream, garlic with pasta and cheese with potato, could this be a match made in foodie heaven? Former MasterChef stars and stalwarts of the Aussie food scene Adam Liaw and Poh Ling Yeow unite for this new series. The fun-loving chefs explore the best of Malaysian cuisine in Australia, and how the two cultures intertwine, across six episodes. Adam and Poh begin in Tasmania, with some of the best seafood in the world, as Adam dives for abalone and sea urchin. Expect an Aussie twist on Malaysian favourites, such as beef rendang, in this lip-smacking travelogue.

LOVE ISLAND AUSTRALIA Nine, Monday, 8.45pm

Whether you are a diehard James Norton fan, a convert to the charms of relative newcomer Tom Brittney, or an admirer of Robson Green (pictured, right, with Brittney), there’s something for everyone in Grantchester, even if you pine for the old days of Norton. As this British period drama has developed over five seasons, its charisma and heart have stuck around, even as much-loved actors have departed. In this season, Brittney really lays on the charm. Tonight, in the second episode of the fresh instalment, Will (Brittney) and Geordie (Green) negotiate a complex family dispute involving a local adoption agency. Storm clouds gather for Leonard (Al Weaver) when a threatening letter arrives.

Good things do come to those who can’t let go of their favourite TV characters from yesteryear. More than 20 years since the original CSI: Crime Scene Investigation premiered and ran for 15 seasons, the sequel has landed. Two of the series’ fan favourites, detectives Gil Grissom and Sara Sidle (William Petersen and Jorja Fox, both pictured), are back and appear to be as cosy as ever. In a move that will make fans’ goosebumps even bigger, the show’s original theme song is back and is guaranteed to let loose a flood of memories. Grissom and Sidle arrive to help a team of Sin City-based CSI agents who are facing an existential threat. Everyone looks older, but will it be the same?

Host Sophie Monk returns with her dry wit, megawatt smile and bombshell wardrobe for the third season of this reality dating bonanza, but the same can’t be said for the exotic island location promised in the show’s title – previous seasons have taken place in Mallorca and Fiji. Nevertheless, we’ve all become adept at compromise and adapting during the pandemic, which has closed the door on international travel. In the season three premiere, the gaggle of singles heads to a villa in northern NSW where they hope to find a match and resist the temptation of new potential partners to win the public’s affection, and the $50,000 prize. It’s no small feat.

Men’s health Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in Australia, affecting around one in six men. Early prostate cancer rarely causes symptoms. Statistics show after lung cancer, prostate cancer causes more deaths among Australian men than any other kind of cancer.

The Bolton Report Sandy Bolton, Noosa MP

The social media dilemma Whilst the advent of social media has had enormous benefits of connecting, sharing, and informing, the events of the past two years have indicated the ‘dark side’ has grown even further. So much so that its tentacles are entering every realm, affecting all that we love. My Legal Affairs and Safety Committee’s current inquiry hearings into vilification and hate crimes heard a commonality in submissions and from witnesses. Social media has provided a platform for those who want to hurt, victimise, and brutalise fellow Australians in an unprecedented way, with images and posts that have been truly shocking. Media also has come under scrutiny, however, that is for another column! We should not be shocked as we had been forewarned and I have written on this before. Not from any studies, officialdom, or reports, rather from our very own residents of all ages. An initiative put forward recently by a year 6 student to entice children off social media highlighted the enormity of this issue. The harm it was doing to and between friends, and the volume of misinformation and bullying being broadcast, highlights how we are failing our children and grandchildren. We have already seen some of these impacts in our young, mentally and otherwise. Physical ailments from being hunched over phones and screens, fear, anxiety and a level of unhealthy competitiveness in achieving those ‘likes’, through to devastatingly suicidal thoughts and tendencies.

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton We are supposed to be their protectors, and yet here these youngsters are trying to fix our failings regardless of efforts including programs, initiatives and apps designed to get us offline and living our best lives.

This is not just relegated to our youngsters. One only needs to take a stroll through community noticeboards to see the comments that range from brutal to bizarre that would never be verbalised or accepted in person. The era of the keyboard warrior has brought out the very worst in communicating, leading those that are already suffering to sink further into depression and fear, with respectful contributors abandoning these pages, leaving only what has been termed by many a ‘cesspit’. As someone who has seen the enormous benefit of the connecting and sharing, I find it incredibly sad that ‘freedom of speech’ has accommodated ‘freedom to humiliate’. What is the answer? The High Courts have now determined that companies, organisations and individuals opening a website or post to comments by others (third parties) may be liable for any defamation in the comment’s facility that the third parties then make. This will mean one or two things for those of us that have Facebook pages. We either monitor 24/7, and delete harmful comments, or turn comments off as so many have been doing, including sporting organisations, in response to the misinformation and vitriol being promoted, including surrounding Covid and vaccinations. Over the years I have requested and encouraged respectful conversations in all realms, often contacting privately those who have not realised that their comments may have been inappropriate. Now with the legal ramifications, findings within inquiries and requests

from Noosans of all ages impacted by this negativity, it is time for real change. Yes, it is regretful that it has come to where we must hide or delete comments as part of this process, however, we all have a responsibility to ensure that nothing on our pages could be seen as perpetrating hurt or fear to another. Turning comments off altogether is not my preference, however, should we find that monitoring and deleting is insufficient, we may find with some posts the necessity to do so. Gratitude to the many page moderators in our community who are already doing this in efforts to create greater freedoms and wellbeing. In addition, turn the tide in what has become one of the greatest contributors to a decrease in the very aspects of life that we treasure the most. That includes connecting with each other, sharing of credible information and those beautiful happy snaps and messages that have been a lifeline during these long hard Covid months of separation. Persecution, humiliation, and degradation are not what we as Australians, Queenslanders, or especially Noosans aspire to. And for those that have contacted my office regarding my involvement in satanism as inferred in a recent FB post? This is yet another example of how social media is used for nefarious purposes! Until next month, unfollow those pages or people who are perpetrating harm, rethink your own comments, and get out and about in our glorious spring sunshine and home, living our best lives.

Llew’s view on anti-corruption Two years ago, our local Federal member Llew O’Brien broke ranks with the government to push for a stronger federal anti-corruption body. At the time he argued that the proposed Commonwealth Integrity Commission (CIC) had insufficient powers to investigate politicians. At the time he called for the proposed federal anti-corruption body to be given more strenuous, stronger powers to investigate and publicly hear allegations against politicians. He even threatened to cross the floor in support of a bill proposed by the former indepen-

dent MP Cathy McGowan. At the time he said the people of Wide Bay and the people of Australia clearly saw the need for a more transparent model than that proposed by the draft legislation. The people of Wide Bay and Australia have not changed their views. The question is, has Llew? At the time the Government promised it was “acting urgently” on the issue and that a proposed anti-corruption body was “imminent”. Since then, of course, we have had the sports rorts affair and the notorious car parks grants fiasco. Not to mention the questionable actions of Energy Minister Angus Taylor, against Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore. And after three years the legislation is yet to come before the Parliament. The government has fought for years against any proposal for a federal anti-corruption body. If, and when, the legislation ever comes before the Parliament, we are likely to see a proposal that is essentially designed to protect parliamentarians and shield the public sector from proper and effective scrutiny. Since that time, Llew O’Brien has been uncharacteristically quiet on the subject. The question is, where exactly does Llew O’Brien now stand on the issue? John Hare, Marcus Beach

Speculation rife The mayor’s letter (Mayor Responds to Shave Move, Letters, October 1 2021) tells us nothing about the reason that Mr Shave was sacked. The Mayor describes Mr Shave’s ability as ‘outstanding’, so for him to be dismissed can only mean that he has committed some outstandingly egregious act. There is a lot of speculation in the community about the reason for Mr Shine’s departure and the mayor’s very long letter does nothing to quell it. Jennifer Sadler, Lake Macdonald

On The Soapbox Ingrid Jackson

Impacts of STA debacle Noosa Council - or more precisely, anti-visitor elements within it - is moving to amend the Noosa Plan so it will effectively ban expansion of short term accommodation in the Shire. Councillors commanding a Council majority are about to set Noosa up for problems next time the economy tumbles. In July 2021, after a year of Council consistently approving applications for short term accommodation in medium and high density residential areas, assessment staff suddenly began recommending applications be rejected. Without warning, staff decided to enforce a section of the Noosa Plan directing that “visitor accommodation is not to be located in areas which are predominantly permanent residential dwellings”. The plan does not define ‘predominantly’, but staff worked around this by adopting Unity Water’s estimate that “23 per cent of dwellings within the coastal areas are being used for the purpose of short-term accommodation”. This 23 per cent benchmark, of uncertain derivation and reliability, was then arbitrarily applied to each application. So recommendations to refuse applications for short term accommodation flowed to Council’s decision-making meetings and a number of councillors, without questioning, began to reject all or most applications. It seemed to suit them to have a justification, however obscure, that matched their perception of Noosa being overrun by visitors. In 2019, after public agitation about a draft Noosa Plan, staff had proposed something totally different: that short term accommodation be allowed for all residential dwellings in low, medium and high density areas. But a majority of councillors decided instead that in low density areas, short term accommodation would be defined as an ‘inconsistent use’ of whole houses and that applications would be ‘impact assessable’, therefore unlikely to be approved. I opposed those harsh limitations, hence voted against adopting the plan. ‘Inconsistent’ means that short term accommodation is regarded as incompatible in low density zones. Applicants must pay a $9000 application fee. ‘Impact assessable’ means each application must be assessed to determine neighbourhood impact. In medium and high density zones, the plan defines short term accommodation as ‘consistent’ but requires applications to be ‘impact assessable’. Applications can still be rejected even though ‘consistency’ makes approval more likely. But there is no guarantee. A lower fee of around $3000 is imposed. Applying was deliberately made expensive and complex, so applicants are likely to require the services of a consultant planner, and even a lawyer. The Noosa Plan had not been ratified before the 2020 Council elections. It returned to Council after the elections for adoption. With similar concerns to mine, newly-elected Mayor Clare Stewart and Cr Amelia Lorentson voted against the plan, but continuing Councillors, who retained a majority, voted to approve it. A proviso required by the State Planning Minister prevailed - over a two year period the Council was required to monitor and provide “a detailed analysis ... , annual comparison data, consider the economic and social benefits of the current situation [and] forecast the potential long-term impacts of short-term accommodation across the residential zones”. Before July, assessment staff consistently recommended, and councillors approved, short term accommodation applications in medium and high density zones. Then suddenly staff began recommending refusal and councillors began, but not unanimously, to follow suit by rejecting some applications. There was concern in the community. Mayor Stewart and Crs Finzel and Lorentson raised

Former Noosa councillor Ingrid Jackson concerns about the sudden change, arguing that the staff recommendations were not evidence based and did not address the “detailed analysis” sought by the Minister. So Council agreed to put Noosa Plan changes temporarily on hold. But there is no guarantee limitations on short term accommodation applications will be eased; it is possible they may be more severe. There is a long history in Noosa of objection to tourism and visitors, including fearmongering about short term letting taking over the Shire. Online platforms like Airbnb are regarded as malign and property owners who want to short term let characterised as little better than interlopers. There are plenty of anecdotes but little evidence to support these contentions. Short term accommodation has also become a proxy in Noosa’s tiresome culture wars in which a self-styled group of ‘guardians’ seek to exert control over visitors, newcomers, most business people, wealthy retirees, in fact, anybody except themselves. Noosa’s beautiful environment and relaxed lifestyle make it a magnet for retirees and visitors. It’s not surprising that tourism, hospitality, property, construction and health services comprise the bulk of the Shire’s economy. In 2008 the Global Financial Crisis battered tourism in Noosa and left the property market on its knees, a situation that took nearly 10 years to alleviate. But since then, property and rental prices have risen steeply. However, property and tourism are cyclical, economic downturns inevitable and Noosa has an undiversified, and therefore precarious, economy.

Short term accommodation, effectively managed and not blighted by unnecessarily restrictive rules, could be an important part in providing greater adaptability, flexibility and stability and add to the Shire’s economic resilience. This opportunity to strengthen the local economy seems to be neither understood nor valued by most Councillors. It is a furphy that the shortage of affordable housing in Noosa will be addressed by limiting short term accommodation. Quite simply, the prices and rentals of most of these properties are beyond the means of low income people. Led by Mayor Stewart, the Council has begun to address this problem but realistically it will take many years before the supply of purpose-built, affordable housing meets demand. Another objection to short stay accommodation is that it is to blame for traffic congestion and the cost of maintaining public infrastructure. But the real cause of traffic congestion is the lack of Council action on establishing appropriate traffic and transport solutions. In the meantime, STA council rates have been increased to address infrastructure costs. Opponents of short term accommodation also characterise visitors as holding constant deafening parties, wantonly dumping rubbish and blocking streets with their poor parking habits. There’s no doubt some neighbours have bad experiences, but Council debates never move beyond anecdotes, not providing substantive evidence that problems are widespread. Meanwhile Council local laws officers receive frequent complaints about chronically ill-behaved owner-occupiers and permanent tenants.

The solution to these problems with some short term visitors, long term tenants and permanent residents is a properly resourced complaints and monitoring process to protect neighbourhood amenity. Bad neighbours are not a short term accommodation issue; they are being used as an excuse. In summary, restricting short term accommodation will not diversify the Noosa economy, fix housing affordability, remove traffic congestion or ensure neighbourhood amenity. Each of these is an issue to be addressed in its own right. Using the planning scheme to regulate short term accommodation is cumbersome, costly and unfair. It entrenches Council approvals in perpetuity, since these are permanently attached to properties. STAs seem likely to cause distortions in the market because some properties have existing use rights, some have approvals, and many have neither. A more nimble approach is epitomised in Barcelona, Spain, where the city council manages short term letting not by applications for land use, but through a permit and quota system to control the number of short term rentals in each precinct - settings which the council can adjust as conditions change. It is a system that is fair, adaptable and which works. Adopting a similar agile framework would allow Noosa Shire to avoid being nailed down by a rigid scheme purpose-designed to advantage some property owners, disadvantage others and do nothing for the Noosa economy. The foreshadowed scheme amendments will not solve any of the matters claimed by opponents of short term accommodation, who appear mostly motivated by an antipathy to visitation and tourism in general.

David Williamson in Noosa

‘We were facing the prospect of sleeping in the car!’

‘Visions of the beauty and tranquility of Noosa were now haunting me on a daily basis.’

I could live here and watch the waves come in... and write to my heart’s content.

‘I wanted out of the city’ Our most esteemed playwright David Williamson and writer wife Kristin have called Noosa home now for a quarter century. The place they love so dearly has taken them from the peak of their careers to the contented golden years. But while the doting grandpa may have mellowed from the enfant terrible who turned Australian theatre upside down with his depictions of real Australians in such plays as The Removalists and Don’s Party, he still has the fire in his belly, as he demonstrates in his fascinating memoir, Home Truths, being launched in Noosa next Friday. While David does not hold back in describing the friends and foes who have peopled his storied career, he also reflects with honesty and compassion on family, marriage, and on the couple’s abiding love of Noosa. I sat down with David for a long and entertaining conversation at their charming beach home. – PHIL JARRATT PAGE 133 “It wouldn’t be until a few plays later that the ambitious playwright in me accepted that if I was drawing from life I had to be a little more aware of the possible damage I was doing and to give everyone involved the chance to read my drafts before the play was finished.” PJ: Did you actually do that? DW: Yes. I came to the position that if any of my fictional characters could be seen by any real characters as versions of themselves, it was only right that they should read the draft before it became final. Most were fine, some had objections which I addressed, but by and large it was recognised that it really was fiction, although you might use certain characteristics from real examples, including your own. I never felt that I’d put a real person on the stage, but nevertheless, some people did find it a little close to the bone in the early days. PJ: Including Kristin, your wife. DW: Kristin is such a smart, dynamic character that it was inevitable that parts of her would form the backbone of some of my best female characters. But she did get fed up when [actor] Robyn Nevin came up to her and said, ‘Looks like I’m playing you again!’ PJ: It must have been hard to hold back when you came to own the art of fictionalising the way real people behave. DW: In the early days when I was starting out as one of the Carlton dramatists, the national theatre critic Katherine Brisbane came down 32 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 8 October, 2021

David Williamson at home in Noosa. and saw one of my short plays performed, and she said it was the first Australian play that she’d seen with real characters. I knew that was true because I always referenced life. I never felt easy about just making things up. I wanted what I wrote to be authentic. Most writers borrow heavily from life, even if they don’t admit it. PJ: There are plenty of novelists who’ve done quite well by fictionalising their own life story over and over again. Did you ever feel a bit like that? DW: The social dance we all play is what I was interested in. We’re all self-interested to some large extent, but we don’t want to push our self-interest too much on other people, and also, unless we’re psychopaths, we don’t like harming people. That’s the intricate dance.

Picture: ROB MACCOLL That’s what has always fascinated me and it’s what I’ve tried to portray on stage. But of course, the situations surrounding that change all the time, so you repeat the fundamentals of human behavior but the story changes. PJ: One of the things that struck me in the book was that when you quote dialogue from plays you wrote as far back as 50 years ago, it doesn’t sound dated. Lawler’s Summer of the Seventeenth Doll doesn’t pass the same test. DW: I don’t think language patterns change all that fast in normal middle class society. When you’re working in a heavy working class vernacular, as Ray Lawler was, that will date. And human nature doesn’t change. In the Me Too age we males may tell each other that we’re enlightened, but underneath I don’t think the impulses have changed very much.

PJ: Let’s get you to Noosa for the first time, which in 1975 you described as “a relatively undiscovered little village”. PAGE 168 “Having done my usual slapdash research I’d assured Kristin that accommodation would be easy to find once we got there. In fact, the place had only one hotel and that was booked out … We had hamburgers for dinner and Kristin told our waitress we were facing the prospect of sleeping in the car. The waitress said her boyfriend was a surfer who was off down the coast chasing waves and we could use his caravan. This was fine until midnight, when he returned to find his caravan occupied. We somehow squeezed him in and Kristin cooked him breakfast to thank him.”

Kristin and David relaxing at home. DW: He came home and bashed on the door in a bit of a state, but he was genial once he found out what had happened. In those days Noosa was very much a surfers’ Mecca and it attracted a sizeable surfing community, as you well know. PJ: The surfer you describe rings true to me. When I came north on surfing trips in those days I met a lot of odd characters, and most of them had a good heart, like this bloke. Do people like him still exist in our town? DW: Well, my observation is that it has changed. When there’s a swell on these days you tend to see mostly former advertising executives with pony tails jogging along the coast track with their surfboards. (Laughs) PAGE 170 “For subject matter I found myself continuously scanning the social environment around me for stories or situations or personal experiences that amused me, angered me or exasperated me.” PJ: Did you find rich subject matter on that first trip to Noosa? DW: No, not that time, although the kindness of strangers was something that stayed with me and I later used in my work. But Noosa hadn’t yet become what some of my more cynical friends describe as “South Yarra By The Sea”. It wasn’t chic. Barry’s On The Beach was the height of sophistication and its trademark dish was coconut prawns. (Laughs) PAGE 280 “… Kristin and I decided to have a short holiday in Noosa … for our wedding anniversary. We stayed in a lovely beachfront apartment. Kristin’s diary notes that we had dinner on our balcony and watched entranced as glassy em-

Living the family dream. erald breakers rolled with ruler-straight precision into Laguna Bay as the sun set behind them. This was paradise. Next night we had dinner at Palmer’s on Hastings Street. This was the first time we met the restaurateurs, Leonie Palmer and Stef Fisher … and a friendship started between the four of us that has lasted to this day.” PJ: A lot of people probably have the idea that you got fed up with the big smoke one day and moved to Noosa, but as Home Truths illustrates, it was a long, suck-it-and-see process

OPINION

Living it up in Noosa with restaurateurs Leonie Palmer and Stef Fisher. that involved other places beyond the cities. DW: Yes, that’s right, going back to Hurstbridge outside Melbourne, where we lived with our “Brady Bunch” when they were small. Our holiday house at Pearl Beach [north of Sydney] was what convinced us you could build a community in a smaller place, but every time Kris and I flew up here and drove north along the coast from the airport, we fell in love with the sun, the surf and the natural bush that went for mile after mile. We just felt it was such a beautiful place. For me the defining moment when I knew our future had to be in Noosa was sitting at the front of Sails Restaurant when it was very new, having lunch on a perfect day with glassy waves rolling in, and looking at each other and thinking, well, we’ve been all over the world and there’s no place that can match this feeling. PAGE 300 “I wanted out of Glitter City. And my sights were now set on the town where we’d just taken a holiday, Noosa. It had become much bigger, more consciously chic and more commercial than the pretty little fishing village we had first visited in the ‘70s … Visions of the beauty and tranquility of Noosa were now haunting me on a daily basis … It became an obsession. I had to get there and live the dream … [Kristin] agreed to let me buy a modest apartment at Marcus Beach …” DW: It was 1996 and I was just sick of cities, and Sydney in particular. It can be a particularly bitchy city. PJ: Unlike Melbourne? DW: Well, that can be even worse! (Laughs) But as I wrote in Emerald City, no one in Sydney wastes time thinking about the meaning of life, it’s all about getting yourself a water frontage!

I suppose at the time I felt out of kilter with the artistic mafia that ruled theatre in Sydney. They seemed to think that real life was dreary while I found it fascinating and, fortunately, the audiences agreed. Anyway, I came up and Kristin followed. She was thriving in Sydney and thought I’d gone a bit crazy. The imprint of Noosa in the ‘70s was still so strong, that I thought, well, I’m a writer so there’s no reason I have to endure the congestion and the noise and the traffic and the personal aggro of a big city when I could live here and watch the waves come in, walk down the street and say hello to people, and write to my heart’s content. It was a sense of community as much as anything, because the big cities had lost that. It had become fragmented. We already knew that smaller communities worked for us because of Pearl Beach. Now I was thinking, why not do that all the time as a lifestyle? Surveys have shown that the happiest people live in Noosasized communities. PJ: That’s become even more so since Covid. DW: Yes, but there’s also a turnover of people because they come here looking for a physical paradise that will make them happy. After a while they find that they’re at an age where it’s not so easy to make new friends and all the old ones live elsewhere, so they sell up and go back where they came from. Friendships turn out to be more important than the view out the window. We found very early that the way to avoid that was to get involved in the community. In Part 2 next week, David Williamson describes how living in Noosa increased his productivity and local characters provided new inspiration.

THE FEED THEFEED.NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Turkish delight in burbs Trevor Pepys reviews Taste of Istanbul Is it possible to find a decent feed at a nondescript suburban strip mall? Hell yeah. There was a time in his pompous past when Trev would probably have disputed the above claim, but that all ended years ago when, during a Southern California sojourn, he discovered Yes Vietnamese, conveniently but hideously situated in a corner of a car park at a super-sized shopping mall just off the 405 Freeway in Huntington Beach. Yes (now LePho, and nowhere near as good, so I’m told) had horror show written all over it until you stepped inside and walked through a pretty internal rock garden to a quiet and tasteful room serving the best Vietnamese Trev had ever eaten. That joint became a regular and never disappointed. Taste of Istanbul, also inhabiting a smallish room in what passes for a strip mall in Noosa, tucked away in the backblocks of Noosaville, might have to work a bit harder to hook Trev completely, but we’re off to a good start. Having been tipped off by a colleague that Taste was worth a visit, Trev and the missus made the long haul out past Bunnings where the trams don’t run on a midweek early evening and were pleasantly surprised to find that the joint was jumping, even before dark. Almost a half of the table-space was filled with an extended family group of Turkish-Australians clearly loving the huge spread before them. A good sign, surely. The colleague had also mentioned the vast quantities of food that constitute a main course, so when we noticed that even the natives were calling for doggie bags, we decided we’d stick to the starters for this visit, and ordered a bottle of Oyster Bay rose ($36) to sip while we made our selection. And a word to the wise here: while you’d probably expect a relatively new place in the ‘burbs to offer BYO, Taste of Istanbul is fully licensed and doesn’t. However, they do offer a small but considered wine selection at affordable prices. While Trev’s preference is for the Provencal pinks, Oyster Bay is producing one of Marlborough’s best, and this was a very fair price for it. When Trev was a young man learning his chops as a cub reporter on the murky police rounds of Sydney and earning two-fifths of bugger-all, his favoured eating haunts were mostly the cheap Lebs on Cleveland Street, where he learnt that some crusty bread and hummus and a plate of falafel, washed down with some flagon wine, would go a long way, despite the fact that no meat was involved in the equation. (And before Trev’s nit-picking critics point out that there are subtle differences between Lebanese and Turkish cuisine, let’s just remember that it was all the Ottoman Empire once, and I challenge anyone to a blind falafel tasting to settle the matter.) So, we decided to relive those halcyon days,

Taste of Istanbul interior.

Halloumi cheese - delicious. ordering Turkish garlic bread ($5.50), grilled Halloumi cheese slices ($16), a falafel plate ($21) and the stuffed vine leaves, or dolma ($16). The charcoal-grilled Halloumi in fresh herbs came served with fresh tomatoes, black olives, a side salad and Turkish bread, and was delicious. The falafel, home-made, deep-fried chickpea balls seasoned with herbs and spices and served with hummus and Tabouli, was a little dry for our taste, even when smothered with the tasty hummus. The dolma, vine leaves stuffed with herbed rice and cooked with olive oil, were tasty but the grape vines were a little stringy. The verdict: Overall, Trev left full and happy enough with his first Taste experience, knowing that his thirst for nostalgia had led him to old school selections that probably didn’t do justice to the extensive offering. Next visit he’ll fast for 24 hours and tackle the mains. Taste of Istanbul, 6-8 Swanbourne Way, Noosaville. Phone 5302 7640.

The Open Studios journey By Margaret Maccoll Every artist has a story to tell on what led them on a path of creativity. Last weekend as more than 100 Noosa artists opened their studios to the public as part of Noosa’s Open Studios art trail, Noosa Today visited a handful of artists from the Noosa Trail, one of five operating across the shire until 10 October. Sculptor Kevin Dick has worked with wood for the past 55 years. For most of those, the master craftsman has built boats but for the past six years he has chosen to follow his creative ambitions and use his exceptional skills to make pieces of art, large and small from a mix of birch wood and composite marine resins. Understandably most of his pieces have a nautical element, with sea creatures such as dolphins, whales, turtles, sharks and sting rays being popular themes and some carry an environmental message of marine protection. But occasionally he is inspired to create something completely different, even the occasional alien. His studio, Kellick Marine Concepts, is at 4 Production Street, Noosaville. For the past 25 years Jackie White has created mosaics. During Covid restrictions she has worked from home with much of her work commission-based. Recently many of her commissions have been of sports stars composed of the male form cloaked in a sporting jersey. Having just moved into her own studio at 41/64 Gateway Drive, Jackie has plans to begin hosting classes and workshops in response to public interest. It was a car accident that led Julia Carter to painting. The former teacher was unable to return to teaching after a serious accident and took up painting as therapy. Her colourful, vibrant paintings drew attention, having since been exhibited across the world, and are now held in collections globally. Julia gleans inspiration from the natural environment, with Noosa National Park a rich source of material for her paintings. Having worked from her gallery at 6/33 Gateway Drive for the past seven years, Julia is working toward an exhibition in the near future. Cathy Spencer took up pottery 38 years ago as an outlet to keep her sane. Having enjoyed making mud pies as a child growing up on a dairy farm, it was a natural progression for her.

Her hobby became her financial lifeline when she began hosting workshops as a way to support her and her children after a marriage breakup. Having been one of the founding artists of the Piece of Green Gallery in Maleny, Cathy, now with husband Dave, only recently made the move to Noosa, opening the Fried Mudd Gallery at 7/33 Gateway Drive just days before the opening of Noosa Open Studios. She said the Noosa art community had been

very welcoming and she planned to soon begin hosting workshops. Self taught mixed media artist and sculptor Jo Cook decided at the age of 50 to retire from her 30-year career as a speech pathologist and become an artist. From her home-based Noosaville studio, Jo creates figurative works aimed at evoking emotions on the journey of women in contemporary society. Her current exhibition includes

her Illusion series of three ceramic and wood marionettes made under the mentorship of woodwork craftsman Phil Willy and carrying a message for women to create their own life and not be a puppet to other people’s desires. Jo praised Noosa Open Studios for being the “best thing for becoming known in Noosa“. Noosa Open Studios continues until 10 October. For more information visit noosaopenstudios.com.au

Fragments on Cooroy stage Hit the Hub for Open Studio advice today

By Jim Fagan

Fans of Fragments Ensemble have been become accustomed to the group’s bright and beautiful performances so it is hardly surprising that the name of its next concert is, well, All Things Bright and Beautiful. Artistic director and soprano Judit Molnar has invited two talented guests to join the ensemble for its October 17 concert at the Cooroy Memorial Hall. They are Netherlands-born clarinettist Rianne Wilschut and Polish-Australian bass clarinettist and composer Paul Kopetz. Both are experienced national and internation-

al performers in chamber and orchestral fields. Paul’s music has been performed at festivals and concerts throughout the world. With Janet Brewer at the piano, the quartet will be performing All Things Bright and Beautiful and other poetic pieces by John Rutter, pulsating tangos and the haunting Oblivion by Astor Piazzola, four nocturnes by Mozart alongside little quirky numbers by Kodaly, Ligety and Paul Kopetz. All Things Bright and Beautiful, Cooroy Memorial Hall, 2.30pm Sunday 17 October. Tickets - adults, $35, concession and students $20 - available at fragmentsensemble.com

“When you need advice, go to the experts,” says Noosa Arts and Crafts president Sandy Mackie. And those who are ‘the experts’ for how you can optimise your Noosa Open Studios event experience are the event volunteers who are working at the event Hub at Wallace House. “The vast majority of the volunteers are artists and artisans themselves. They often personally know the artists who are opening their studios or they have become very familiar with their works,” Sandy said. So it makes sense to head there first, grab a printed guide if you don’t already have one, view the participating artists’ representative works on display, and, if desired, get some advice on how you can see all your selected studios while minimising the kilometres driven. And to keep the body nourished, Wallace House has a pop up cafe of yummy home made items to enjoy with a cuppa or for lunch on each of the weekends - Friday through to the Sunday. More than 100 artists are participating in the event in this its sixth year. Recognised as of one of the two leading open studios events in Australia (the other one is Margaret River WA), the Noosa Open Studios event showcases the incredible talent we have living and creating in our Noosa region. Held from Friday 1 October to Sunday 10

Talk to the experts and enjoy the delicious treats at Wallace House. October, check the guide online for further details noosaopenstudios.com.au The Hub is at Wallace House, 1 Wallace Drive, Noosaville, adjacent to the Noosaville Library. Friday, 8 October, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 39

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Matthew Pearl won last week’s $100 Tackle World Noosa/ChaseBaits Fish of the Week prize with the 79cm flathead he caught and released in the lower estuary.

The first change arrives Well October really started with a bang! Big thunder storms over the region with some decent rainfall too. With light winds predicted and a mid-week new moon, things certainly looked great for anglers both inshore and offshore. Offshore, the close reefs of Halls produced some solid sweetlip. These fish love a good downpour especially when the river runs brown and the bait gets flushed out. Prawnstyle lures like the Zerek Cherabin will work really well on reef fish. These plastics will take a standard jig head, making them very versatile. These work well on Sunshine Reef for coral trout because most fish love a prawn. Further afield North Reef still has smaller snapper around. These fish are certainly on the move and the recent rains could make the inshore reefs a better option to locate a bigger one. Setting up a slow but steady burley

trail is important when on anchor as is super lightly weighted baits on fluorocarbon leaders. If you haven’t, then try 14-20lb FC leader, a single hook with a #1 ball sinker and let baits drift slowly down. The take is super aggressive from big snapper and you will learn how to fight fish on light gear. Check out our huge range of leader suitable for this style of fishing. Surf fishing has seen many anglers taking a trip up to Teewah and beyond. This has resulted in some chunky tailor up to 80cm landed. These fish will take anything from strip bait to small chrome slugs cast into the wash and cranked back. The TT hardcore is proving a successful lure as it is shorter and fatter which keeps the profile size down. This helps when fish are locked into feeding on small baitfish. Whiting are in good numbers in the holes and gutters and a pack of live worms from the shop

The river is seeing some nice sized golden trevally which provide some great runs once hooked. The bigger fish certainly know where the snags are so you will put your angling skills to test if fishing on lighter gear. They will pick up anything from a micro jig to a blade like the new Storm Ultra blade and of course a live worm, pippi or mullet strip. They are usually found in the lower estuary from Munna Point toward the river mouth and often come through in big schools.

Why hickory golf lives on It’s a little disturbing to look down as you’re addressing the ball on the tee and note the head of your driver is only a fraction wider than the ball. But that’s part of the challenge, and the enjoyment, of playing hickory golf – or, as devotee Grathan Leatherbarrow describes it, ‘golf as it was meant to be played’. Once, decades ago, hickory was the only form of golf played. Legends like Bobby Jones and Carnegie Clark played the game with clubs fashioned out of hickory shafts and steel heads. And early golf courses, many of which still exist, were designed to accommodate golfers wielding only hickory clubs. These days it’s the game of preference for a small, but enthusiastic, band of traditionalists keen to keep alive the origins of golf. Increasingly, though, it’s capturing the attention of a growing number of younger golfers, fascinated by the skill required to use this ancient equipment and challenged by the thought of mastering the technique. Grathan Leatherbarrow, the unofficial promoter of hickory golf on the Sunshine Coast, likes nothing better than inviting newcomers to play with him at Cooroy on Thursday afternoons – as long as they’re prepared to use only hickory clubs. That was the reason I joined Grathan, the recently crowned Cooroy club champion, on the first tee at 12.30pm last Thursday. Making up our group was Noosa club champion George Giblett and club members Jason Norris and leftie Kale Hamilton – all hickory disciples. Five players in a group is generally frowned upon, but Cooroy on a quiet Thursday afternoon isn’t quite St Andrews or Royal Melbourne. Grathan showed me the set of hickory clubs he’d brought for me, and apologised that George, Jason and Kale were preparing for an upcoming tournament and would be using regular clubs. He and I would use hickories. “The clubs must have hickory shafts,” Grathan said. “The heads must have been made before 1935 or be approved replicas, and they must have leather-wrap grips. But you’re allowed to use regular balls and tees.” Ushering me to the first tee, he pulled out an ancient wooden club and declared: “This is your driver.” It was shorter than a regular driver, with a comfortable leather grip and the aforementioned tiny head. After the others had played, I stood on the tee, lined up the shot, concentrated fiercely on making some sort of contact with the ball, kept my head as steady as I could, and swung. Remarkably, the ball flew truly down the centre of the fairway and rolled out to about 200m. “You’re a natural,” enthused Grathan, with just a hint of sarcasm, knowing full well what was certain to follow. Completely bewildered by the distances I was likely to get with the clubs Grathan had selected for me, I smacked my second shot (with a ‘niblick’, I believe) over the green, left the next one short, then three-putted with the peculiar little straight faced putter he’d given me. As we played on, I got a little more confident with the woods and long irons, but continued to struggle with the short irons and putters. I was surprised at the distances I got with the ancient clubs. After a few holes I managed to reach a par three green and two-putt for a regulation three. “Hickory par,” cheered George. “Well done.” I managed a few more pars, quickly became seriously enthusiastic about the game, and was actually disappointed when I failed to par Cooroy’s tough 18th hole. I ended up breaking 90, which I considered a reasonable first-up effort. Grathan, as you’d expect from a club champion and a man who last year won the Bobby Jones Trophy, an event contested at Cooroy by hickory players from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, went around in 75. George Giblett, a gifted 20-year-old professional in waiting, cruised around in 64

Planting your heel TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER Should golfers lift the front heel off the ground during the backswing? Well, it depends on the individual. Most professionals we see on TV will keep it on the ground. They are physically capable of achieving the desired rotation of the body with the lead heel still - either planted on the ground or very close. On the other hand, many club golfers - either due to age or injury - can’t achieve that same body rotation when keeping the front foot firmly planted. So despite what you may see on TV, in the case of many club golfers, allowing the lead heel to lift is acceptable, if necessary to achieve the desired body rotation which will then allow them to produce the maximum power from their swing. One thing for sure - no matter whether your front heel lifts or not in the backswing, the back or trail heel must always finish off the ground in the follow through. Good golfing. PETER HEINIGER, of Heiniger Golf, is Noosa Springs’ head PGA teaching professional

Grathan Leatherbarrow tees off on the first hole at Cooroy. strokes, scoring birdies on six successive holes from the 10th, while Jason and Kale provided me with valuable insight into how the course should actually be played. But I’ll be back, perhaps armed next time with my own set of hickory clubs, and enthusiastic about introducing more of my mates to a game I know they’ll enjoy. “I’m a lover of the history of the game,” Grathan says. “If you don’t know the history of golf, you shouldn’t be playing the game.” Grathan has been collecting hickory clubs for decades, many of them coming to him from Sydney-based former professional Tom Morris, 92. “I put them together into sets and give them to players keen to play golf the way it was done in the past.” Hickory clubs are known by names rather than numbers. A typical set might include a brassie (driver), spoon (3-wood), mid-iron (4-iron), mashie (5-iron), mashie-niblick (7-iron), niblick (9iron) and a jigger (chipping iron). There’s no sand iron. A set of hickory clubs – two woods and six irons - might put you back $250. The game is played at Brisbane and Royal Queensland, and at Cooroy on the Sunshine Coast. That list might soon grow longer. Maddie takes Headland Classic If practice makes perfect, it won’t be long before Maddison Kelly is a fixture on tournament leader boards. The Noosa Springs’ 16-year-old devotes at least 36 hours a week to practice, filling notebooks with statistics about the development of her game. And that doesn’t include the time taken up actually playing golf. The hard work is paying off. On Sunday, Maddie shot five-over-par 77 to win the girls’ division of the Headland Junior Classic and qualify for the 2022 Invincibles Sunshine Coast Junior Masters Championship. Last week Maddie, a five-handicapper, contested this year’s Junior Masters, shooting rounds of 76, 83, 80 and 78 to finish in the middle of an elite field of teenage golfers. Deb is Cooroy’s club champ Deb Macaulay is this year’s Cooroy women’s

club champion after 72 holes of golf spread over two weeks. Division 2 champion is Tina Thomas, while Mary Miller is the Division 3 champion. Net champions are Margie Lucas (Division 1), Chris Michael (Division 2) and Elaine Henman (Division 3). Gil makes Sunday Series final Noosa Springs’ stalwart Gil Hopkins made doubly sure he’d qualified for the resort’s Sunday Series in September. He won two of the three qualifying events during the month – tallying 38 points each time. The Sunday Series, sponsored by Joe Langley Real Estate, offers weekly prizes to the male and female with the best stableford score each weekend. But the golfer with the best score each month qualifies for the final in December, where the prize is a holiday at Noosa Springs with unlimited golf. Gil won the competitions on September 5 and 19 to go through to the final. Visitor Taylor Moffat set an early benchmark for October when he won Sunday’s event with 40 points.

Great country trail walk By Lisa Marshall The annual Great Noosa Country Trail Walk took place on the long weekend of 2-4 October in the beautiful Noosa Hinterland. This unique event, recently renamed as the Noosa Biosphere Trail, had walkers traversing the countryside on the Noosa Trail Network starting at Lake McDonald in Cooroy and finishing in Pomona. Just under 200 walkers covered 56kms in three days, and camped overnight in Kin Kin and Cooran, or stayed at local BnBs and accommodation in the nearby towns. The event was created by Shaun Walsh, who wanted a way to connect the country towns of Cooroy, Cooran, Kin Kin and Pomona to highlight the beautiful natural surroundings in the area. “The Noosa Trail Network in pretty unusual in Australia as it connects country towns and villages, with good day walks in between. It is very similar to walks and pilgrimages you get in Europe, but very rare here in Australia. I also like the way is mixes open farmland with national parks and forests - the terrain is very diverse - it’s like walking across the rooftops of the natural and cultural landscapes of Noosa.” Highlights on the route include the views from Twin Hill Views lookout and James McKane Lookout, the forests in Woondum National Park, and the challenging climb of Mt Cooroora in the final leg, for those that choose to do it. Central to the success of the event, which was started in 2013 with just 90 walkers, is the dedicated and committed team of Trail Guides. This year, 16 volunteer Guides took to the trails with the walkers, as support and encouragement and to provide local knowledge of the towns and trails. Walkers are encouraged to be self-sufficient and self-guided, but having the team of local guides brings a welcoming sense of support and community. Local Noosa Trek coach and event coordinator for the Trail Walk this year, Lisa Marshall, said, “ There was a huge sense of gratitude and much excitement when the event went ahead, given the uncertainties that go with the current times. Many events have been unable to happen this year, so we cherished every day we were out walking in nature, and really appreciated the opportunity we had to hike in the scenic Noosa Hinterland and camp under the stars.” Local hiker Janet Kake, one of the volunteer trail guides, was excited to find some of her family history along the route: “My grandparents are Mervyn Bunney and Agnes Playford

who came from the early settler families in Kin Kin and Pomona. No wonder I love these trails!” she said. The team of volunteer Trail Guides, walk the route together in the weeks leading up to the event, to re-acquaint themselves with the route, to report any hazards or areas to be dealt with by Council or Parks before the event, and to discuss plans for event weekend. Long standing guide and supporter Janet Mitchell, said: “We’ve been involved since the start and just love the camaraderie that has developed between the guides. They are a very special group of incredible people who have become an important part of our lives. We haven’t walked the trail for a couple of years and unfortunately won’t again this year but we’re still on the scene lending a hand, supporting the trail guides marking the route and transporting goods for walkers.” Holly Ash, who walked the route this year, said at the finish at Pomona Distilling Co: “Great end to an awesome weekend adventure. Met so many new friends and had a wonderful time hiking. Thank you and cheers to all the guides, organisers, walkers and helpers. Bring on 2022!” For the second year in a row, the event organisers aimed for a zero waste event, encouraging walkers to bring their own food and water in re-usable containers and to leave no trace” on the trails. The hikers, all from Queensland this year, finished each day with tasty meals at Black Ant Gourmet in Kin Kin and The PC Cutters Club in Cooran. They also visited the Hinterland Brewery and Dingo Creek Winery in the afternoon, to enjoy some local fare. Wholesome breakfasts and lunches, as well as a pop-up tea stall, were prepared by local community groups, Eumundi Rotary, Cooroy Pomona Lions Club, KinKin Community Group and Pomona Cooroy Cutters. Funds raised from the event have gone towards the planting of 2200 tree species in the Hinterland, providing shade into the future. Since its inception, this walk has been organised, managed and carried out by a host of passionate volunteers, local organisations and sponsors. Registrations for next year’s event will open towards the end of the year. The event has sold out within a week the past few years, so if you are keen to join in the fun next year, follow Great Noosa Trail Walk on Facebook and watch out for the launch of the 2022 event.

Noosa Country Polo Club president Niall Coburn said all the feedback pointed to a highly successful day with guests travelling event from the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane. “It was a good atmosphere,“ he said. “A lot of people came up to me saying they’d like to learn to play.“ Niall said a lot of interstate people had also wanted to attend but Covid restrictions prevented them doing so. As the horses thundered up and down the field, guests watched the action unfolding and indulged in good food and drink. “We had a lot of community support and provided a lot of local employment,“ Niall said. “We’d like to thank everyone for their support. It was a wonderful day for the community and corporate sponsors as well.“ Niall said it had been difficult to plan the event with the uncertainty of Covid but, being optimistic, they had decided to take the risk and it went well. In addition, a painting auctioned at the event raised $3500 for Katie Rose Cottage. The next event for the Noosa Country Polo Club will be the Dowling Cup in June.

Classics shine on By Jim Fagan The sun was shining, the classic cars were gleaming, but the glitter and colour was eclipsed by the beaming smile of six-year-old Rose Greentree, of Noosaville, as she sat behind the wheel of champion race car driver Gerry Murphy’s Porsche Cup GT3. Rose and her family Mum and Dad, Hailey and Les, with sister Jade (three) were at Chaplin Park, Noosaville, on Sunday for the Roadrunner Car Club’s Charity Car Show - an event that attracted a record 1700 car enthusiasts as well as those who came to enjoy the picnic atmosphere and look over the famous makes of cars. An array of 120 was on display, ranging from a 1924 Vauxhall Special and a 1936 Oldsmobile Sloper to this year’s current model GT Mustang. Motorcycle fans were also not forgotten with a selection which included a very rare 1935 OK Supreme and a 1939 Velocette, still in its original condition. Gerry Murphy’s Porsche was a popular attraction. For a gold coin donation for the designated charity, Katie Rose Cottage Hospice, showgoers could sit behind the wheel of the racing car.

USC student athletes are celebrating their biggest UniSport victory ever.

USC is overall champion at Unisport Nationals Qld USC student athletes are celebrating their biggest UniSport victory after dominating at the 2021 Nationals Queensland multi-sport carnival on the Gold Coast this week. The Spartans claimed the Jodie Martin Trophy for overall champion university after winning nine medals (five gold, one silver and three bronze) and outperforming teams from some much bigger universities along the way. The event from 27-29 September featured 1000 athletes from 10 Queensland universities and the University of South Australia. It was held in place of the annual UniSport Nationals Divisions 1 and 2 carnivals that were cancelled due to widespread Covid-19 restrictions. USC’s gold medals were won in men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s FUTSAL and men’s beach volleyball. 44 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 8 October, 2021

Both USC basketball teams were undefeated throughout their tournaments, with the men’s side defeating The University of Queensland 67-57 in the final and the women’s side outscoring QUT 57-42 to become champions. In the FUTSAL finals, USC’s women’s team outclassed Griffith University 5-2, while the men’s team beat USQ 4-3 after an undefeated campaign. And in the men’s beach volleyball final, USC was too good for Griffith University, winning two sets to nil. USC sports coordinator Gary Moore said he was thrilled with the results, which included the University placing second in the per capita rankings. “We don’t normally win too many finals, so to win five out of six on the final day of com-

petition was pretty amazing,” Mr Moore said. “Four of the gold-medal winning teams from USC were playing at the same venue at the same time, so it was an awesome experience - there were students cheering everywhere.” A bruised, hoarse but happy USC sports captain Gemma Kinnealy said the Spartans could now lay claim to being the best team ever to represent the University at a UniSport carnival. “Everybody was absolutely ecstatic that USC was named overall champion. Nobody expected it, to be completely honest,” the final-year occupational therapy student said. “It would have been interesting to see how we would have gone against the bigger universities from Sydney and Melbourne if those areas weren’t in lockdown.”

Thunder second grade batting against Palmwoods at Read Park on Saturday.

Thunderous bowling trio By Randall Woodley MATCHES LAST SATURDAY First Grade travelled to Gympie and after a short wet-wicket delay were asked to bat first. On a slow field they started cautiously but lost early wickets to be 3-38 off the first 14 overs before Dom Taylor joined opener Chris Wright at the crease. Wright fell for 38 with the score on 4-70 off 23 overs, leaving plenty of work to do by the other batsmen. Blake Steel came out to bat and turned the innings around with a 42ball 53. He hit six 4s and three sixes in his stay at the wicket. He and Dom Taylor (38) saw the boys to 133 off 35 overs (63-run partnership) before Blake went. Young wicket-keeper, Cody Pyne, in his first bat of the season, then scored a run a ball 24 seeing Thunder to 165 in the 40th over. With five wickets in hand, TNT were looking at 230-plus but unfortunately a late collapse saw the team all out for 191, leaving four overs unused. At the break, Thunder felt comfortable they had posted enough runs to defend and take the points for the match. Batting second, Gympie Gold openers scored 12 off the first two overs but, unfortunately for them, that was as good as the afternoon had in store for them. The TNT opening bowling trio of Scott Aufderheide, Tom Stewart and Ben Laughlin set about dismantling what is usually a strong batting line up. In the next 14 overs, the trio took 10 wickets for the addition of only 17 runs in a fast-bowling display that had to be seen to be believed. Aufderheide finished with 5 for 9 off six overs, Ben Laughlin 4 for 6 off three and youngster, Tom Stewart, possibly the quickest of the three took 1 for 14. An interesting footnote is that of the 10 Gympie wickets to fall, seven were either bowled or given out LBW. The Thunder bowlers were on line, bowling a good length and with just a small amount of late swing. The match was over early and the boys returned home knowing that they were able to post a good score even though some of their top batsman did not fire on the day and confirming the team has, by far, the best bowling attack in the competition. Next Saturday the team will be at home against Glasshouse in a day-night 50 over match starting at 1.30pm. Unfortunately, none of the other teams were able to start the season with wins. Second Grade played Palmwoods at Read Park and, after winning the toss, sent the opposition in to bat first. Harrison Lea and Robbie Payton bowled great areas with not a lot of luck to have them 3 for 44 at the 13 over mark. Harrison was beating the edge two-three times an over and, on another day, would have taken

Find a way to get back into the game. Find a way to build a partnership. Find a way to get a bowling partnership going. Find a way to catch a ball. Find a way to stop one. Just find a way!” - Shane Warne a bag full. Palmwoods kept scoring well and were 4 for 120 after 25 and eventually finished all out for 180. Harrison Lea opened the batting with Sam Baker and, after Harrison hit a few boundaries, he was out and replaced by the new captain Josh Peters. He and Baker built a partnership and got to the team to 3 for 120, needing six an over to post the win. Palmwoods bowled well, full and straight, and looking back it was obvious that TNT could have been more active with their batting and executed their plan better. The boys fell 20 runs short with batsmen in the shed. Leon Beatty and Sam Baker top scored with 35 each. The team will keep improving and have a real crack at Glasshouse next Saturday. FOURTH GRADE The team played their match on a field that

nings finished on 104 runs. It was a tough start to the season with plenty of good things to look forward to. Next match is against Glasshouse at Dale Officer Oval next Saturday. SIXTH GRADE The team played against USC at Dale Officer oval and after batting first could only score 78 runs off 19 overs. This was a very disappointing performance from the team. Only two batsmen reached double figures- Shane Gesell 25 and Andrew Tue 10. USC was able to pass the target in the 10th over. The team will need to regroup this week and look closely at their batting and bowling if they are to be competitive in the matches ahead. Their next game is down at Landsborough next Saturday commencing at noon.

resembled a postage stamp at Palmwoods and after winning the toss and bowling on a not completely flat deck, the decision may have backfired. With all the bowlers in their first match of the season looking a little rusty, wickets were hard to come by. A few dropped catches and some lusty hitting by their tail saw Palmwoods finish on 7-196. Best bowling for TNT: Kent Officer 3-28 off six, Bob McGhee 2-29 and Mike Thomson 1-19. Naveen Chand, Jack Floyd and Luke Anstey all bowled well and were unlucky not to get wickets. Batting wise, TNT got off to an average start being 3 for 5 and then 4 for 15 after nine overs. It was very hard to recover from a start like that. Some early luck to Kent Officer followed by his usual boundary hitting saw him top score with 42. Jack Saunders hit 16, Ron Lewis was 16 no when the in-

The night of the Dolphins According to a club flyer, the Ray White Noosa Dolphins have wrapped up their season with a great night at Dolphin Oval to celebrate and acknowledge all those players, coaches, managers and army of volunteers - volunteers, who worked to make the season, an outstanding success. When asked to comment and reflect on the season, club president Donald McKill said, “Of course, nine from nine grand final appearances was pretty cool, but I have to say that when you are around the club as much as I am and you see all the other work that goes on, day in day out, that a lot of others don’t see that I am most proud of. We have an incredible army of volunteers working hard behind the scenes, creating within the club, one of the best environment’s for kids and their families to come and play rugby: and above all, enjoy our facilities. On top of this, our senior players both men and women, just seem to thrive in this atmosphere, an atmosphere that you, our workers have created.” In his closing remarks, the president went on to say, “We have definitely created something special here at Noosa. You must remember that during the last couple of seasons, we have also been home to the British and Irish Lions, Saint Kilda AFL, Essendon AFL, and, up until last week, the Melbourne Storm. And now, this week, the visiting All Blacks will be utilising our facilities, gym and playing fields. This, I believe, tells us that we must be doing something right.” The type of hospitality the Dolphins have created and extended to not only our visiting teams, but also those from overseas, is without a doubt the best type of publicity that we, as a tourist resort, could possibly wish for. The night and presentation ceremony, superbly hosted by Tess Evans and Jet Fairfax from the Ladies Team, saw a multitude of awards. The Best and Fairest (team) Awards were: Colts, Leo Langridge, Women’s, Imogen McLeod, Reggie’s, Yvhan Allsworth and A Grade, Jock Hansson. But perhaps the most important of all, the Club Person of the Year, was awarded to Tash Ramsden for her work at both junior and senior levels of the club. Regarding representative players, some Dolphins players made the Stingrays and Queensland Country rep sides, while others were gearing up for the 7s tournaments: these will only be played in Queensland, due to Covid -19 restrictions. Queensland club 7s will be the next event for Dolphins, with Dolphins being the host club. The games will be on 13 and 14 November and details will feature in Noosa Today over the next few weeks. Next week we will be talking with the Noosa Pirates Rugby League regarding their season. Little Athletics. Later this month the Little Athletics Queensland All School Championships will be held in Brisbane at the Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre. In preparation for this, the Noosa Little Athletics, training under the supervision of Mick Hooper, Level 4 Senior IAAF Head Coach.

Little Athletics Queensland State Level Spring Carnival held in Bundaberg. For the Noosa club, they were represented by 17 athletes, and for them it was indeed a very successful carnival. Competing against athletes from 55 club around the state, our athletes performed well winning 32 medals (15 gold). Lots of other athletes achieved top 10 placings with new personal best performances. ‘’This was the type of competition that they require if they are to perform well at the Spring Carnival. Perhaps a major highlight was the fact that their achievements were spread across both track and field events,’’ said coach Hooper. An added bonus on the day, was a boys’ and girls’ gift race, that was made up of all the individual 100 m age group winners. Noosa achieved an incredible result, with five athletes winning their 100m race, thus gaining a second run in the Handicap Gift Race. Girls’

U/12 Taya Clayton, U/13 Harley Davis, and boys’ U/9 Ben Clayton, U/13 Luca Gerrard and U/16 Jaxon Retchless. “This was great viewing, specially with blanket finishers in both events. This resulted in Jaxon finishing in secnd place, running off a handicap of 2.5m in 11.21 seconds. These results were achieved because of putting in a great effort early in the winter and I congratulate all involved.” For the Noosa team, the next major carnival will be in November. Known as the Original Relays, the top three teams from each division will contest the state titles in Brisbane in December. Pickleball Sunday 10 October is World Pickleball Day. Celebrations will be happening all over the country as well as around the world. The Noosa Pickleball is hosting a friendly-teams, round

The club is currently raising funds and awaiting on another grant, to build a world class all-weather dedicated pickleball facility in the future: a first of its kind in Australia. Pickleball is a friendly, fun sport that will get your heart beating without putting stress on your knees, hips or shoulders.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Delpero nose trim perfection.

All the fun of the fair. Honno Blomfeld slotted while the ski shoots the action.

Roach a Ranch runner-up As day turned to night in Lemoore, California last week, Noosa’s Harrison Roach needed a miner’s helmet light to find the bottom of the Surf Ranch right as he launched into a trademark smooth-as-silk cutback. Needless to say, he didn’t have one, he bogged a rail of his favourite Thomas log and handed the Cuervo Open title to France’s Edouard Delpero. It’s not all bad for Harry, of course. Following his runner-up finish at the Ranch, he sits second in the rankings going into the 2020-21 longboard world title decider at Malibu this week, only 1250 points behind Edouard, the man-bunned bombshell from Bidart. What is bad news is that the WSL final had to be played out under woefully inadequate lighting after a “scheduled maintenance pause” (read breakdown) of the freight train that delivers the waves. Watching it live, I was reminded of a Malibu Surfing Association Teams Classic a decade or so ago when someone had miscalculated the number of heats to run in daylight, and some of us had to surf in the pitch black while a runner in the shallows had to relay each wave score to the judges in the tower, who couldn’t see either. Quite a few members of the Noosa team will never forget that either. Fading light plus a bit of wind on the face played havoc with other top-line longboarders at the Cuervo – including former world champ Justin Quintal and the veteran Joel Tudor – but the man-made wave is clearly no picnic for longboarders at the best of times. Although I’ve never surfed it, I’ve mind-surfed the inside barrel from the apron of the pool and wondered if I’d ever have the split-second timing to make one of them. Answer: probably not. It looks benign but it’s anything but. None of this is to take anything away from Edouard’s stellar performance. I’ve enjoyed watching the Delpero brothers surfing in Noosa and at Cote des Basques for years, and Edouard has a good shot at the title at Malibu. Me, I’m backing Harrison to win a maiden world title, and given his diverse career path, I reckon it needs to be now. If he wins, it will be thoroughly deserved, because had it not been for a quirk of fate, he’d already have it in the bag. Harrison was on fire at the 2020 Noosa Open, the season opener for the 2021 WSL world championship. He seemed to pick every runner out of the garbage heap on offer at Access 11, Noosa West. And then, as he edged towards the Noosa title, he was called for an interference on California’s Kevy Skvarna in what can only be described as bizarre circumstances. In the many months since, Harry has generously described it as his own “brain fade”, but there is an entirely different interpretation, which I probably share, having watched it from the beach. The upshot was that Harrison finished seventh and 45-year-old Joel Tudor took the event. A couple of weeks later the entire season was called off thanks to the spread of Covid, and points from Noosa 2020 were eventually added to the two-event tally for the 2021 season, which means that Tudor is sitting in third going into the Malibu decider.

Harrison Roach threads the needle perfectly at the Surf Ranch. Meanwhile, another Noosa favourite, Hawaii’s Honolua Blomfield, took out the women’s division at the Surf Ranch with an absolutely beautiful performance that included a switch-foot perfect score. The WSL reported: “A marathon day, including six waves, tested the two-time WSL Longboard Champion but her grace under pressure paved the way to a massive win heading into the final event of the season.” It sounds silly to call six waves in a day a marathon, but the long, long ride down the pool taxes both physical and nervous energy, and it was apparent by final runs that several surfers were battling exhaustion. But at least they got to finish before dark! Honno’s victory at the Ranch puts her in pole position for Malibu, with a 2500 points lead over Hawaii’s Kelis Kaleopaa, who won the 2020 Noosa Open. But her biggest threat might come from Ranch runner-up Soleil Errico, a further 1000 points behind but on her home break at Malibu. With a good south swell predicted for this coming weekend, Malibu should be a treat for longboarders. FOOTNOTE: On the other side of the world at beautiful Ericeira, Portugal, WSL Challenger Series competitors in the MEO Vissla Pro had difficult and blustery sideshore conditions to contend with during the opening day of the event, but it didn’t seem to bother Australia’s Dylan Moffat who posted the day’s highest heat total of 15.93 to move into the round of 48. Dylan is a young Narrabeen surfer who has been doing the hard rounds on the qualifying series for several years now, but he’s anything but a journeyman. He raised eyebrows at this year’s Rip Curl Narrabeen Pro when given a wildcard ahead of bigger names, but I watched him surf there and was very impressed. I’d love to see him make a mark in Portugal.

This is the first property seen when crossing the bridge, so it will be exciting to have a fresh new ‘’gateway’’ home or even apartments to replace the current office and three apartments. SUNRISE SALE Another jubilant Tom Offermann Real Estate agent was Peter TeWhata whose listing of 18 Orealla Cres, Sunrise Beach, was sold under the hammer for $2.95m. Keen interest during the marketing campaign came from local, Brisbane and interstate buyers. With three registered bidders and fast paced action it took just five minutes with the successful buyers moving from Brisbane to their new home. The Rebekah Offermann and Nic Hunter listing of 31 Dolphin Crescent Noosaville, a riverbank site on coveted Hideaway Island was passed in at $2.9m. Negotiations ongoing with interested parties and a sale is pending. Jill Goode’s listing of 34 Marnie Crescent Doonan, a 1.48h site with a meandering stream and a small cottage, was also passed in. It is listed for sale at $1.285m. AUCTIONS BRING RESULTS It’s been a busy few weeks for Reed & Co, with all auctions selling prior or on the day. The story started on September 22 with the four-bedroom, three-bathroom waterfront house at 59 Saltwater Ave, Noosa Waters, that had seven registered bidders either local or interstate. From an opening bid of $3.1m it sold to a local family for $3.56m. Then the four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool on 1.78ha at 280 Mirbelia Pl, Doonan, sold four days prior to the scheduled auction on Wednesday, September 29.

At $2.320m auctioneer Gordon Macdonald sought instructions from the vendor but the offer was quickly increased to $2.350m and the property sold under the hammer to Melbourne interest with property in Noosa and who has sold that to downsize. SOMETHING SPECIAL The Rise penthouse is a special one, and is headed to auction on Saturday, October 9, at 10am with Rebekah Offermann at Tom Offermann Real Estate.

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car penthouse apartment 21 The Rise at 37 Noosa Dve, Noosa Heads was completely renovated in 2019. It’s the only two-bed penthouse that’s been renovated to include two bedrooms and also one of the few two-bedders in the Rise to have two carparks as well. There is a super tranquil outlook with a grand old fig tree framing views of Laguna Bay, the river mouth and Noosa North Shore. It has created a lot of interest, Rebekah said, mostly Brisbane-based investors, and also a few FaceTime inspections from interstate. “Buyers are appreciating that there is nothing to do to the apartment, it’s walkability to everything, and that there is fantastic on-site management that keep the facilities and gardens in beautiful order, and provide strong occupancy and returns.’’ DISCOVER THE BEACHCOMBER WITHIN Everything has aligned at the four-bedroom, two-bathroom, three-car house with pool at 10 Coconut Gve, Castaways Beach, heading into Saturday’s auction at 2pm with the team at Suter Smith Cleine. “It’s everything anyone could want,’’ Linda Suter said, “ … a coastal-inspired beachside home where the attention to detail is second to none. “It’s a house with land and views, that backs onto national park and is within a short walk to the beach. “And it’s perfectly presented.’’ There was excellent initial response which has resulted in serious interest, Linda said. “From interstate - so many people are selling and so many are moving - but also locals wanting a quieter location “This is for those specific buyers who appreciate the quiet, the walk to beach, the wide streets. “It’s the location where you know the people in the street.’’ People are being attracted due to different reasons - most are improving their position. “It’s a comfortable house, everything’s done. “If you have a house that’s done, in this market you are in the cat-bird seat … you are sitting on top of it all. “Everyone is trying to find builders,

materials. They are finding it better to buy a property that is completed.’’ TALK ABOUT POSITION With a beautiful outlook from the elevated site, a five-bedroom, three-bathroom, twocar house at 32 Arkana Dve, Noosa Heads, is scheduled for auction at 11am, Sunday. Jesse Stowers of Tom Offermann Real Estate said the property enjoyed 180-degree views stretching from Laguna Bay, past Noosa North Shore and the river to Lake Weyba. Interest has been a combination of Melbourne and local buyers, Jesse said. “It’s been a mixed bag but you expect that. It’s central - you can walk everywhere and only so many to offer these views from such a location. Built over two levels, there are polished timber floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, a generous floor plan and cool beach aesthetic. Downstairs is fully selfcontained. this position boasts beautiful 180 degree wide views that include the ever stunning Laguna Bay to Noosa North Shore, across the Noosa River waterways and beyond to the A terrace runs along the length and breadth of the house while floor-to-ceiling windows and doors open the living and dining areas, as well as the contemporary kitchen to those views. In the east wing is a media room, a main bedroom with northerly views, an additional two bedrooms plus a family bathroom and laundry. SIMPLY SUPERB In this role I get to a lot of properties and this one of tilt-slab construction stands out. Positioned high on the ridgeline with views from Mount Coolum to Noosa, a spectacular home designed in conjunction with Reitsma Design at 33-35 Cania Pl, Yandina Creek, is set for auction on Friday, October 8,at 1pm. Adrian Wood from Reed & Co, who is marketing it in conjunction with colleague Mark Hodgkinson, said jaws simply drop when people first see it. It’s a home where form, functionality and design meet to provide an amazing coastal family lifestyle. “The views are to Noosa and back to the hinterland,’’ Adrian said. “Such a serene setting.’’ Interest has been mainly interstate but

also Sunshine Coast. They are attracted by the construction as well as the views - a Sunshine Coast style utilising such raw tangible building materials.

HOME FOCUS

IRRESISTIBLE LITTLE COVE VISUALISE a distinctively modernist residence, with nature’s verdant surrounds of rainforest trees and palms, koalas as neighbours, cycad-dotted gardens, outreluxe pots of giant bromeliads, muted shades of grey, stone detailing, exalted by the Noosa National Park directly on its doorstep, and only a few minutes walk to Little Cove Beach. Step inside and sigh. The build, executed with attention to finite detail and quality, and best characterised by a designforward aesthetic, boasts raked roof lines, floor-to-ceiling windows, and light dancing through the void into the expansive living and dining spaces, including the goldfishfilled water feature. It is akin to taking a seat in a beautiful theatre. There is an easy interior flow, with almost ‘transparent’ indoor-outdoor connections. The ambience is calm, considered, whispers luxury rather that shouts it, and inside out the residence sparkles. Unabashedly extolling the virtues of life alfresco, and evoking nature’s beauty and birdsong, is a stupendous terrace stretching the width of the residence, with a lush green backdrop, and facing north. It is designed to take advantage of the perfect sub-tropical climate, where summery vibes linger year-round. Sun worshipping and swimming in the dazzling pool with waterfall and air spa are de rigueur, and easy-going days and nights of entertaining are on the menu. The luxe custom kitchen to suit every cook, every occasion, is commensurate in size and incorporates the latest appliances and features including stone-topped custom cabinetry, walk-in pantry and wine cellar. The adjacent generous-sized laundry doubles as a butler’s pantry/caterers’ space. Upstairs is blessed with qualities desired by those who’d love a north wing super-sized master suite and balcony, from where you will be transfixed by the tableau of Noosa National Park and inspired foreground of terrace, gardens and pool. The tiled ensuite has double custom-made vanity and dresser, plus double shower. In the west wing bedroom two, with north-facing undercover balcony, and bedroom three both have build-in robes, timber shutters and share a family bathroom with tub. On the south side, an open office/yoga/nursery space has an undercover balcony. Downstairs in the east wing, two overgenerous bedrooms present an option for a separate guest suite. Currently one with walk-in robe/storeroom is used as an art studio. The second with separate entry, custom-built cabinetry and undercover terrace is an office. Both have timber

louvred blinds and share an adjacent family-size bathroom with separate toilet. “The address is first class, and this residence is a sanctuary for those wishing to escape day-to-day life in the city,” effuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Rebekah Offermann, who is taking the property to auction on Saturday, 23 October 2021. “Alluring Little Cove is where the ocean meets the rainforest, otherwise known as the world-famous 477-hectare Noosa National Park, with its walking trails and world recognised surfing reserve. All this, yet minutes’ walk away is Hastings Street with its sophisticated array of boutiques, art galleries and nationally-known beachside restaurants and cafes, laidback Noosa Main Beach and Laguna Bay.” Facts & Features Land area: 610m2 House area: 400m2 Pool: 3m x 3.9m low maintenance. heater, air spa, waterfall, auto water top-up Garage: 2-car fully tiled w air-conditioned workshop space + lots storage About: solid concrete built by renowned builder as own home, auto blinds to high windows, 3-phase power, C-bus lighting/security system, solid-core doors for sound proofing, ducted aircon, fans, wrought-iron balustrades, ceiling heights from 3m to 7m Kitchen: C-shaped, stone-topped 2-pac cabinetry, walk-in pantry w wire shelving system, Blum deep-wide soft close draw-

EVERYTHING AND MORE AT COCO BAY SEIZE the day. A townhouse so close to the Noosa River is a rare find, however knowing there are three-bedrooms, only one neighbour, and it has an alfresco terrace near the pool, its desirability increases dramatically. Beautiful French doors with louvred shades open off the generous open plan living and dining space on the east side. On the north side they connect to the large, covered terrace, shaded by palms. What a perfect spot for a barbecue or watching the kids have fun, as just beyond the pathway, lawned area and pool fence, are tropical gardens with the dazzling beach-style pool and inground spa. Naturally, they’re heated in the cooler months. Indoors, the palette of white with muted shades of taupe, complements the lime-washed flooring, as well as the big comfortable sink-into mahogany-hued cane chairs and sofa, with their pops of floraltoned cushions. A solid timber table comfortably accommodates eight diners. The kitchen with top-line appliances, white 2-pac, stone-look benches and VJ-profile breakfast bar is the winning ticket for cooking devotees, plus all the necessities needed for holiday letting are on tap. An adjacent bathroom doubles as a laundry. Upstairs, the three bedrooms with built-in robes, is carpeted. The master looks over the gardens on the east side, both bedrooms on the west side have twin beds, and the newly renovated bathroom features chic macchiato-toned tiles and a sleek white vanity unit. “This will be a popular proposition for sage investors, sea-changers and downsizers with a keen eye-to-buy in Noosaville,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Eliza Coppin, who is taking the property to auction on Thursday 21 October 2021. “Located on the Weyba Road-side of Coco Bay Resort, the year-round muchcoveted holiday hotspot, is only paces from the foreshore of the Noosa River. “There are dedicated cycle and walkways along the dog-friendly gazebo dotted riverfront. It runs parallel to Gympie Terrace and is a top spot for paddling in the shallow water, stand-up paddle boarders, kayakers, flite boarders, leisure boats and the Noosa Ferry. The Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club is not far away, so too are many wonderful cafes, restaurants, boutiques, shopping precincts and essential services.” ●

ONE-OF-A-KIND OCEAN VIEW HOME TUCKED away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a sizeable 823m2, is an exceptionally unique property where all the stars have aligned. Looking out to ocean views yet positioned adjacent to the national park, this is a rare offering indeed. Add the exceptional presentation, coastal decor, manicured gardens, wonderful outdoor entertaining spaces and of course, the 5 minute walk to the beach and what you have here is truly irreplaceable. This home represents beachside bliss. The main living, dining and entertaining along with the master retreat are all upstairs, positioned to enjoy the ocean views, coastal breezes and the bush backdrop. The lower level perfectly suits additional family whether for a visit or more permanently. Kids young or old will love the bar/ kitchenette and lower lounge room that opens out to a large covered patio – so ideal for games and entertaining. Adjacent to this area is the lagoon-style pool with waterfall and tropical edging. There is a delightful garden and lawn around the rear of the home with areas for both relaxing in sun or shade. If more space is required, just open up your back gate and let Noosa’s National Park be your playground -- but you’ll have to remember to share the space with the resident kangaroos. This is a sensational position where the connection to the surrounding view and position will leave you calm, relaxed and truly blessed. There are homes that are great to entertain in but lack considered outdoor space or a connection to the area and there are homes where entertaining is lack

lustre but the surrounds are exceptional. The true beauty of 10 Coconut grove is that it lacks nothing. It’s a meticulously

maintained home close to the beach, with ocean views, large block size, backing onto the park and offering exceptional

entertaining spaces both inside and out. This comes around rarely so don’t let this get away. ●

PEACEFUL POSITION IN SMALL COMPLEX IT’S no surprise that Noosaville has emerged as one of the country’s most sought-after addresses. Sleepy, leafy, streets run from the riverside cafes and restaurants, to the

shopping hub of Noosa Village just 2 blocks back. But the main attraction here are the flat walks along the river for morning coffee, or drinks at sunset.

One of just 7 townhouses in “Villa Serena”, apartment 7 is the favourite; positioned furthest from James Street, with no neighbour on the Eastern side. A large private courtyard opens to the North from

the living space, overlooked by the sunny deck shared by the bedrooms upstairs. Within 180m flat walk are fabulous restaurants, bars, and sandy river beaches. ●
